I’m an entrepreneur and consultant from Munich, Germany. I graduated with a degree in international business and I’m currently traveling world to meet exceptional entrepreneurs.

I’m curious by nature and my main passions are adventure travel and bringing up others around me. I pursue my passions and encourage others to do the same. I live by the notion that we have the ability to create our purpose, by making the choices that reflect our values and personality and not the opinion of others. Leading by example helps me create positive impacts on culture.

I mentor entrepreneurs and help startups with their international growth. I like Mondays and I’m super interested in understanding the mechanics of society. I seek projects, which tackle inequality and complexity, the primary challenges of our time.

I believe in learning-by-doing, building meaningful connections and hustling to get what you want.

PHILOSOPHY

'Those people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who do' - Steve Jobs

I recently gave a TEDx Talk in Bilbao about Leadership.
