I’m an experienced advisor and sparring partner for entrepreneurs and investors looking to turn ideas into commercially viable businesses. With a strong legal foundation and a deep understanding of business dynamics, I help teams navigate the complex landscape of scaling new ventures across Europe. This includes hands-on guidance on corporate legal and governance matters, commercial contracts, and strategic advice on go-to-market initiatives, IP, and compliance. I enjoy working in technology-driven and scientific environments, where my curiosity and passion for innovation align with dynamic teams exploring new opportunities.
Before focusing on the startup ecosystem, I spent over a decade in a multinational company in Switzerland, active in R&D, production, marketing, and sales within a regulated industry—eight of those years in an executive leadership role. My career began at a top-tier international law firm in Germany, advising clients on corporate law, M&A, private equity, joint ventures, and restructuring.
I hold a PhD in economics and am admitted to the German bar.
Outside of business, I enjoy outdoor activities in the mountains and playing Klezmer music on my clarinet.
