About

"I believe the future belongs to those who connect people, technologies, and purpose." As a modern Neo-Generalist and visionary with polymathic qualifications, I bridge disciplines to drive innovation in biotech, sustainability, digital transformation, and deep tech. My expertise spans from FDA-compliant production and Six Sigma to climate-smart agriculture, AI-powered platforms, and regenerative technologies, backed by executive education from MIT, Columbia Business School, and leading institutions in the USA (Indiana University - Bloomington), Japan (Kyushu University / KIT), and Germany (TH Mannheim / Steinbeis University). My global fieldwork and leadership experience extend across four continents, enabling me to build cross-sector solutions with measurable impact. One of my most recognized ventures is METTA GREEN DEEP TECH, awarded as one of the most disruptive EU Tech companies in 2023 and 2024. I'm passionate about solving complex problems, building bridges between sectors, and creating a better world for future generations.
