Vienna, Vienna, Austria
Entrepreneur with 25 years of experience in venture capital, company building and technology investing. I have worked closely with founders across the full lifecycle of digital businesses — from early product definition to financing, scaling and governance. In 2023, I deliberately returned to hands-on product creation. I architect and build software on Apple platforms, combining product thinking, technical depth and long-term business perspective. I designed and engineered Script Buddy, my first fully self-built Apple platforms product, taking it from concept to live App Store release — covering product and software architecture, UX design and go-to-market strategy. Beyond technology and investing, I am a passionate skier, mountaineer and ocean sailor, having crossed the Atlantic twice on our sailing yacht Starship.
Conceived, architected and engineered Script Buddy, a rehearsal and line-learning app for actors, available on the Apple App Store and consistently rated 4.7+ Responsible end-to-end for: • Product vision and UX architecture • Software architecture across iOS and iPadOS • Modern SwiftUI-based system design and implementation • AI-assisted speech and rehearsal systems • Subscription and pricing model design (launch upcoming) • App Store positioning and go-to-market strategy • Direct user feedback loops and continuous product iteration Script Buddy has been rapidly adopted by actors internationally and is continuously refined based on real-world rehearsal workflows. It marks my deliberate transition from venture capital to hands-on product architecture — integrating decades of capital allocation and governance experience with modern Apple platforms engineering.
