Top 1% of marketers worldwide
I help founders scale from zero to multi-million ARR. Across Europe, the USA, and Asia, I have built three startups from zero, led the #1 STEM Kickstarter, and mentored 100+ founders through Techstars, EBRD, and Seedstars.
Companies I built, programmes I mentor in and schools I teach at
Three engagements where I led growth from day zero. Each is a founding-team role.

Solo-travelled across 20+ countries. Lived and worked in Amsterdam, Berlin, Geneva, London, and Barcelona.
Three TEDx talks across Europe. Fifty-plus keynotes in fourteen countries on growth, marketing, and the operator mindset. Recent venues include Asia Pacific Digital Marketing Conclave, Russian Stream Conference, and university lectures at Harvard, Oxford, and LSE.
