Co-Founder & CEO

What defines me is action: I’ve generated over €2M in revenue across three ventures. I studied Information Systems and Management and trained in data science and AI, which gives me a solid tech understanding. But what I love most is building go-to-market strategies, selling, and staying close to users. I've worked in two startups and an incubator.
