About

I harness the power of biotech as the Founder and Co-CEO Technology of SenseUP, a company developing dsRNA biopesticides that enable farmers to feed the world without harming it. I am fascinated by novel and superior biotechnological solutions for more sustainable agriculture and am proud to contribute to solving some of the biggest challenges in crop protection as an entrepreneur, a scientist, a team leader and a communicator. I am the father of two; I love living in Germany’s Rhineland and collaborating globally.
