"Give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you."
The principle I build everything by
The person

The person behind the work

Over the last decade I have built startups from zero, taking Infento from zero to eight-figure revenue, raising $848K on Kickstarter for the #1 STEM project in the US, and taking VU Switzerland to Olympic-level recognition. I have mentored 100+ founders through Techstars, EBRD, Seedstars, and the UN; coached graduates at Harvard, LSE, HEC Paris, and Oxford; and spoken at conferences across four continents including three TEDx stages.

Beyond the work, I am a Vipassana practitioner, a solo traveler across 20+ countries, and the creator of Vinnyana Visuals, a community of 10,000+ people who share the joy of turning complex ideas into simple illustrations.

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
The lens through which I build, advise, and communicate.

🧘
Vipassana Practitioner
I serve and practice 10-day silent meditation courses regularly. A discipline that has fundamentally shaped how I approach decisions, leadership, and communication. It keeps me grounded in environments that move fast.
✏️
Vinnyana Visuals
I turn complex ideas into simple, shareable illustrations. What started as a personal habit, sketching quotes from books, grew into a community of over 10,000 people who share the same joy of making ideas visual.
🌍
Traveler
Solo-travelled across 20+ countries. My career has taken me through Amsterdam, Berlin, Geneva, London, and Barcelona, each city leaving its mark on how I think about people, markets, and building things that last.
