Co-Founder novoMOF AG | Breakthrough CO₂ capture materials (MOFs) for fighting climate change.

Munich, Bavaria, Germany

About

Co-Founder of novoMOF, where we use Nobel Prize–winning materials (MOFs) to make CO₂ capture commercially viable. We’ve developed unique, industrial-scale Metal-Organic-Frameworks (MOFs) that act as the “lungs” of carbon capture systems — a powerful materials platform that finally enables commercially viable CO₂ capture directly at the emission sources of hard-to-abate industries. We turn breakthrough material science into solutions that fight climate change. I’ve been an entrepreneur my entire life, founded ShoeSize.Me (exited to MySize, Nasdaq: MYSZ), and I’m driven by innovation, sustainability, and building businesses that solve real problems of our world today.
