Engineering Leader | Deep Tech Innovator | Driving Product Vision & Scalable Systems I’m a mechanical engineering leader with 6+ years of experience in building complex systems, scaling teams, and driving product innovation from R&D through market launch. I've led the full lifecycle of Direct Air Capture technologies, building a team from 1 to 15 engineers and launching multiple products to market readiness. My strength lies in bridging first-principles engineering with scalable execution, enabling innovative, sustainable products across green tech, hardware-software systems, and deep tech. -> On the path to CTO
Skytree is engineering the CO2 transition by building machines to capture CO2 from the air and repurpose it for good: whether it’s reused across different industries or stored permanently. Our DAC technology transforms atmospheric CO₂ into a valuable resource: powering applications like renewable fuels and chemicals, greenhouse operations, beverage carbonation and water treatment. Our modular DAC machines and unique DAC Park architecture allow us to deploy in any climate, at scale - empowering more industries to switch to a circular CO2 source and contribute to a cleaner planet. With more than 10 years of applied research starting at the European Space agency, we have the engineering excellence and the patented technology to enable the shift towards decarbonization. Our machines are already hard at work, capturing over 10M tonnes of CO2 by 2030.
Skytree harnesses carbon through the power of decentralized direct air capture technology (DDAC). We believe by creating modular solutions to capture carbon at customer sites we can accelerate the health of our planet and society. That is why we created one of the worlds smallest and simplest carbon capture processes to transform how food is grown, improve water treatment as well as provide clean air across the buildings we work in. DDAC reduces emissions from supply chains, closes the carbon loop, saves energy and provides a viable pathway to a smarter carbon future. We are on a mission to change people’s relationship with carbon, fast tracking the health of society and our planet. Join us to transform carbon capture https://skytree.eu
