Zurich, Switzerland
I turn vision into systems and execution. Entrepreneur, systems thinker, and often described as a “Systemizer-in-Chief.” I build the operating foundations that make ambitious ideas workable, scalable, and sustainable. I’ve spent more than a decade growing tech-enabled companies across Europe—leading teams of 100+, managing multi-unit operations, and driving M&A. My strength lies in creating clarity: building operating models, workflows, and playbooks that reduce complexity and enable teams to perform at their best. Today, I design human-centered operating systems that integrate AI agents, automation, and intelligent decision flows. I partner with founders and leadership teams to move from scattered processes to coherent structures that support scale and accountability. Alongside my operational work, I continue to build and launch ventures—especially in children’s digital wellbeing—collaborating with researchers, educators, and parents to shape safer and more meaningful digital environments. As a board member at capacity.eco, I support moonshot mission for biodiversity. My climate studies at ETH Zürich deepened my systems-level perspective on long-term resilience and planetary impact. My passion lies in human-centered innovation across climate, children’s wellbeing, and science—creating tools and systems that empower people to thrive in a fast-changing world. What I bring – System design for people: operating models, workflows, playbooks – Scaling experience (100+ employees, M&A, multi-unit organizations) – AI-enabled automation & intelligent organizational systems – Strategy transformed into KPIs, execution, and accountability – Experience across eCommerce, digital platforms, climate, and child-tech Always open to meaningful conversations with – Founders seeking clarity, structure, or operational uplift – Leaders in climate and children’s digital wellbeing – Media and event hosts exploring ethical tech or systems innovation My focus: building systems that allow purpose-driven ideas to grow—and endure.
