Co-founder of Smiler, the on-the-spot photography marketplace that raised over $15M from lead VCs Speedinvest, Mosaic Ventures and Octopus Ventures. What I do now: 🔹 Board member & fractional CEO/CCO – I work with growth-stage companies that need operator experience at board or C-level, covering strategy, go-to-market, commercial execution and organisational scaling. 🔹 Angel investor – Backing pattern-breaking founders in marketplaces, digital health, travel tech and FemTech with capital and hands-on operational support. 🔹 Speaker – Keynotes and panels on entrepreneurship, marketplace building, fundraising, founder dynamics and female leadership. Experienced speaking for audiences from 25 to 2,500+ people. 🔹 Founder coach (selective) – Open for founder coaching trajectories focused on fundraising strategy, founder dynamics, conscious leadership and navigating board & investor relationships. I'm a tech optimist, a bit of a nerd, and I love working with data, but above all, I'm the person who gets things done and helps founders turn strategy into traction.
