Bridging Creativity, Business & Technology to Drive Innovation I’ve built my career at the intersection of innovation, strategy, and design, helping startups, corporations, and global initiatives bring new ventures to life. From leading multi-million-dollar open innovation programs in Europe to co-founding a genderless fashion marketplace, I specialize in transforming complex ideas into scalable, high-impact products. 🔹 Beta-i (Program Manager & Lead Consultant) → Led one of the EU’s largest corporate innovation programs (Free Electrons) and helped advance decarbonization through TULIPS, an EU-backed sustainability initiative. 🔹 Collective Global (Partner & Venture Architect) → Designed & built MVPs, innovation models, and AI-powered tools across industries like generative AI, blockchain, wearables, biotech, and SaaS. 🔹 DearMx (Co-Founder & Product-Led CEO) → Conceived, funded, and built a genderless fashion platform with an AI-powered recommendation engine, high-engagement pop-ups, and seamless e-commerce scalability. 🔹 Startup & Product Builder → From business model innovation to UX strategy and AI-driven design, I don’t just create—I shape solutions that scale. My work involves: ✅ Venture building & corporate innovation (from idea to execution). ✅ AI-driven solutions & automation strategies for startups & enterprises. ✅ Prototyping & UX-led MVPs that bring ideas to life, fast. ✅ Business model strategy & B2B innovation to create new revenue opportunities. I thrive on turning complexity into clarity, designing high-impact solutions, and working with those who think beyond the obvious.
As a venture architect and strategic consultant, I lead the design, business modeling, and technical structuring of multiple deep-tech and AI-driven projects across industries. 🏗 Key Work: - Built & structured 50+ MVPs across AI, blockchain, wearables, biotech, and SaaS over the last three years. - Designed the innovation strategy & pitch decks for numerous funded and/or incubator-backed startups. - Developed a proprietary framework for integrating AI into scalable WordPress solutions. - Advised startups on business model innovation, focusing on unique B2B monetization strategies.
Conceived, funded, built, and launched DearMx, an AI-powered, genderless fashion marketplace designed to redefine inclusivity in fashion together with two co-founders. 🚀 Key Achievements: - Built and launched the full MVP from the ground up, including product stocking, payment integrations (iDeal, Klarna), and scalability (99.75% uptime, high-traffic capacity). - Developed an AI-powered recommendation engine, designed to personalize fashion choices based on evolving user preferences. - Led branding & creative direction, designing a dynamic, identity-fluid brand (no fixed colors—reflecting the fluidity of identity). - Directed and styled professional photoshoots for launch media and product visuals. - Organized and led three high-impact pop-up events, generating €800–€1,100 in single-day sales and thousands of engagements from Amsterdam’s LGBTQ+ community. - Scaled the Instagram community with high-quality content, gaining the first 250+ organic followers. - Successfully transitioned leadership to my co-founder, who has now secured funding to launch a physical retail space for the next frontier of fashion-tech. I remain a shareholding partner and strategic consultant, advising on AI, product innovation, and scaling.
