About

At MindQ, we are redefining how data-driven enterprises approach growth by bridging the gap between high-level academic research and commercial execution. With a foundation in PhD-level AI research, I lead a team dedicated to transforming fragmented market data into immediate, measurable profitability. We specialise in deploying high-precision AI solutions—including dynamic pricing and predictive market intelligence—that consistently deliver 10–25% profit uplifts for our partners in retail and e-commerce. My mission is to eliminate the guesswork in complex decision-making. By acting as an end-to-end implementation partner, we ensure that AI isn't just a buzzword, but a secure, production-ready reality that fundamentally strengthens the bottom line for the organisations we serve. At Zenmarket, we are dedicated to bringing the best of Japan to the European market. Our mission is to introduce premium Japanese products—ranging from artisanal teas and food to high-end cosmetics—focused on exceptional quality and the unique stories behind every maker. We go beyond simple retail by educating our customers through private tea tastings and immersive workshops, fostering a deep appreciation for Japanese values and craftsmanship in Europe.
