Vienna, Vienna, Austria
I trained as a mechanical engineer and studied business administration at the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration. With four years driving own business and more than 20 years of experience in large organisations in financial and energy sector I set up plenty of different businesses and business units and loves to work in dynamic business environments, creating ideas and getting things done. In one of my professional stages I set up a Corporate Venture Capital Investment House to invest in European early stage startups and built up a huge co-investment network. I like experimenting and thinking different, like to be part of a team willingness creating and changing new things to make the world a better sustainable place. That´s why I´m now enthuiastically building companies. Let´s doing the right things and either we find a way or we gonna make one!
