About

I specialize in transforming ambitious ideas into thriving businesses, having led teams of over 50 professionals to deliver exceptional results in market expansion and operational excellence. My journey includes challenges such as launching and scaling new ventures from zero to €15M ARR in just one year or reducing P&L costs by over 30% year-on-year through strategy, customer focus, and transparent leadership. I thrive in dynamic environments where fast decision-making, creativity, integrity and a growth mindset drive real impact, always striving to unite diverse teams around bold opportunities and sustainable success.
