About

I believe entrepreneurship should serve people and the planet, not the other way around. My work is driven by one idea: that public value creation should be at the heart of how we innovate, invest, and grow. That belief has taken shape through the Public Value Hub, where I serve as CEO, and now through the Social Impact Republic, where I’m proud to act as Co-Lead. Together, we’re building a new generation of programs, tools, and communities that help founders and institutions align technology, entrepreneurship, and purpose. At Public Value Hub, we create learning experiences and ecosystems for impact entrepreneurs, people who build ventures not only for profit but for measurable societal benefit. At Social Impact Republic, we unite partners like UnternehmerTUM, PHINEO gAG, appliedAI, Founders Foundation, and DIZ Rostock to grow the first nationwide platform for scaling social innovation: from AI in GovTech to GreenTech, EdTech, and DemocracyTech. My mission: to make impact entrepreneurship the new normal, by connecting people who believe that collaboration, curiosity, and courage can change how our economy works. And yes, occasionally I’ll explain all of this using sitcom analogies or Star Trek references. Because reshaping systems should also be a little fun. If you’re building, funding, or supporting something that serves the public good, let’s connect.
