CEO & deeptech entrepreneur turning advanced materials technologies into scalable industrial solutions. I lead Carbon Waters from academic patents to industrial deployment, building partnerships with over 20 industrial clients in automotive, energy, electronics, and transportation across India, South Korea, and the US. We are currently securing production exceeding 20 tonnes per year through industrial collaborations. I bring hands-on experience at the intersection of science, industrialization, and business growth: leading teams, structuring business models, scaling operations, and managing investor relations with Business Angels, Family Offices, VCs, and institutional investors. Previously, I managed multi-site consulting operations and a €15M Business Unit with 70 consultants, coordinating over 130 projects in life sciences and chemistry, including R&D financing, IP management, product marketing and innovation strategy. I also coordinated complex European technology and innovation projects at European Molecular Biology Laboratory, involving research institutes, industrial partners and multidisciplinary stakeholders across Europe. Passionate about industrial transformation and innovation, I am particularly interested in board roles, advisory missions, and initiatives supporting deeptech scale-up and industrial impact.
