About

I’m a Operating Partner at Fortino Capital, with a core focus on accelerating value creation in software ventures. I’m focussing on AI-first business transformations and work closely with portfolio companies from deal close to exit, driving revenue growth, optimizing go-to-market performance, and professionalizing operations. With 20+ years of executive leadership in high-growth (international) SaaS companies, I combine strategic insight with hands-on execution across go-to-market strategy, sales and marketing alignment, customer success, product-market fit, and post-merger integration. At Fortino, I lead the operating practice, drive post-investment value creation, and support commercial due diligence turning strategy into scalable, sustainable growth. If you’re building or investing in an AI-first software company, I’d be glad to connect.
