“Get smarter with every interaction!”
Background & Highlights
I'm a hands-on builder and investor with over 20 years of experience turning bold ideas into real companies — and helping others do the same. I've founded or co-founded five ventures across AI, healthcare, fintech, and community platforms, and I bring that hard-won founder experience directly to the startups and teams I work with today. As an angel investor and GP of a healthtech syndicate with 5,000+ members worldwide, I back early-stage founders with smart money and active support — connecting them to customers, co-investors, and strategic partners. I don't just write cheques; I open doors and stay in the trenches. As a fractional sales and marketing leader, I step into growth-stage companies as an embedded executive — building GTM strategies, enterprise sales playbooks, and revenue engines without the overhead of a full-time hire. My background spans IBM, Deloitte, and multiple founder roles, giving me a rare combination of corporate discipline and startup speed. Community is at the core of everything I've built. From moderating Switzerland's largest business network on XING to launching bottish — a global AI & blockchain ecosystem — to scaling a virtual conference on bots and AI to 50,000+ participants, I know how to bring the right people together and create ecosystems that generate lasting value. I'm currently active as Country Lead for Iberia & New Verticals at Swiss Trust Layer, expanding decentralized identity solutions across Spain, Portugal, and emerging markets.
