Turning scary business numbers into your clearest next step.

Mathematician, venture capital expert, startup enthusiast - I believe entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone. But for those who want to build their own business, it shouldn’t be about hype, formulas, or empty promises — it should be about clarity, confidence, and finding your own way.

Stage Impressions

I'm a regular speaker and host on international stages. My topics reach from startups and technology to entrepreneurial and digital nomad lifestyle. For further information and inquiries, please use the contact form at the end of this page.

However, I value content over show, use storytelling just to convey the message. My goal is to educate and inspire in an entertaining way, but I don't speak TO entertain.
