About

🙋🏻‍♂️I am Jean-Luc, the Co-Founder and CTO of Pryvet.ai, an AI SaaS startup merging artificial intelligence with enterprise-grade security and business-critical features tailored for professional use. 🚀 As an advisor and mentor, I am helping start-up founders and their team validating their business models, holistically preparing investor negotiations and scale efficiently - bridging corporate structures with startup agility to create sustainable growth opportunities. 👨‍🚀 I am building innovation units and intra-/entrepreneurship programs for corporates and enabling them to accelerate and de-risk their innovation activities. With 10 years of corporate experience, including building a company builder within the Otto Group, and C-level leadership in multiple B2B SaaS startups, I combine strategic vision with hands-on execution. 👨‍🎓 I am lecturing in the areas of "entrepreneurship/intrapreneurship", "innovation management", "proof of concept", "lean start-up" and "digital business models". I studied internationally, holding a Master of Arts degree in Marketing & Sales Management and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration. 👉 Connect to scale your start-up!
