About

Entrepreneur focused on company building and growth. I am passionate about innovations and data-driven business models, including blockchain and AI but I also value tangible products like high end espresso machines and excellent coffee. I firmly believe that building a lasting, successful company is rather a marathon than a sprint, reaching far outside comfort zones, sometimes bottoming out halfway, questioning self-confidence, and overcoming injuries and pain. It's not about how to begin but how to endure and how to finish a challenge. I embrace the suck. My core values include resilience, freedom in thinking and acting, as well as respect and reliability. My entrepreneurial track record includes bootstrapping, profitable growth, successful exits, turnarounds, and failure. Areas of functional and industry expertise cover general strategy and their execution, venture capital fundraising, international expansion, strategic alliances and partnerships, business to business and consumer markets.
