Hi! This page is supposed to make you feel like I'm a very serious entrepreneur.
Co-founded a D2C brand that sells high-quality organic olive oil, supporting small farmers and social projects in Greece. Since launching it as a side project with one of my best friends in 2020, we’ve sold over 40,000 liters and donated around €30,000.
Launched a viral card game to bring more joy into Christian faith – while encouraging a context-aware approach to scripture. Sold 20,000+ items in the first year while getting featured by some of the most relevant press and public figures ↗ in the niche.
From ’17 to ’23, I helped build a VC-backed EdTech startup focused on making schools more efficient. I played a key role in shaping the brand and product, pitching to top-tier investors like HV Capital and driving growth in all areas – while scaling from 1 to 170+ employees and reaching a valuation of over €100M. Ranked 9th in the GlassDollar Top 100 Fastest Growing German Startups 05/20 ↗, pitched at "Die Höhle der Löwen" ↗, got featured by Germanys most prominent media (e.g. WELT ↗ & FAZ ↗) and lectured as a guest speaker at WHU business school.
While these are the companies to which I contributed most significantly, I supported other impact-driven organizations in interim roles or as a consultant over the past years – primarily in product design, branding, and growth. Examples include Buzzard ↗, Open Doors ↗, and Tearfund ↗.
Also, for almost ten years now, I’ve been spending a week at a monastery around New Year’s to reflect on life, reconnect with myself, and realign with what truly matters. It’s been so meaningful that I’ve started hosting occasional monastery retreats to share the routines and reflection practices I’ve developed over the years. Join the waitlist ↗
I’m also a certified health coach and have worked with people living with Type 1 Diabetes – just like me – to improve their holistic wellbeing. I’m currently not taking on new 1:1 clients due to focus on my other work. Still, the desire to help people live better lives drives everything I do.
I'm a design-driven innovator who loves to solve meaningful problems while having fun. Here are some of my core beliefs and values:
I believe everyone has reasons for what they do – which is why I think we should be kind to each other and aim to understand rather than judge.
I’m also deeply moved by how everyone carries a package that we often can’t see from the outside. I believe there’s beauty in sharing vulnerabilities and struggles rather than pretending we've got it all together.
Again and again, I’m surprised by how the things that truly fulfill us are often different from what we expect to make us happy.
I believe that, in the end, what we all long for is to feel something deep inside our hearts and to be touched by experiences, rather than letting life just rush by.
With my work, I want to contribute more and more to what I call life feeling warm: Those moments when we feel truly alive. Something that's more than superficial fun and happiness.
Around my work and some of these topics I started creating content on my Instagram ↗ and I’m working on further formats to inspire people who resonate with these values.
If this speaks to you and you’d like to support what I do – or see a way I can support you – feel free to get in touch.
