I am a former competitive athlete turned technology investment banker with 10+ years of experience in global fundraising and M&A, focused on software and digital health. After building my career in Frankfurt and Berlin at different German and US investment banks, I joined Pava Partners in 2024, a leading European M&A and Debt Advisory firm for technology-driven and fast-growing companies. Outside of work, I stay active with endurance sports, boxing, and time with my fiancé and dog.
I am a seasoned entrepreneur, CEO, and top management consult, deeply rooted in authenticity, transparency, and pragmatism, carrying my black and yellow heart (Heja BVB!). With nearly 15 years of experience, I’ve led restructuring and transformation projects globally, managing up to €100M and 250+ team members. My focus on technology-driven solutions has helped shape innovative business models and scale companies internationally. My career, spanning multiple countries and cultures, fuels my passion for bringing first-hand insights to complex, high-stakes projects for esteemed business leaders.
I’m an entrepreneur based in Berlin, with a career spanning music, tech, and startups. Born in New York, raised in Frankfurt, and having lived in the Bay Area, I began in music production, later founding a recording studio. A few years later after co-founding and exiting an adtech startup, I shifted to venture building and CVC in insurance and banking before returning to startups. Currently, I’m the co-founder and CEO of INSRD, where we raised nearly €1M from leading angels and industry experts and were also part of the last EWOR traction cohort.
I am an independent top management consultant, seasonal real estate investor, and day trader, proud to be born and based in the Ruhrpott. I have ~10 years of experience leading large-scale transformation and integration projects (100m€ value) all over the world for SMEs and DAX. My insights in capital markets and hands-on experience in trading and investing made me an early apostle for asset tokenization and crypto. Beyond business, I am an avid sports and travel enthusiast, enjoying surfing, bungee jumping, hiking, canoeing and coaching youth soccer clubs.
