Why are you passionate about working with startup founders?
I believe fresh ideas push the world forward. I'm passionate about supporting those who dare to challenge the status quo, because innovation is the way to design a better future. I also have understand what it's like to be an early-stage entrepreneur, the steep learning curve, the scarcity of resources and the belief in your vision despite all odds. It's not easy to turn ideas into successful ventures, but if some of our knowledge can make the road a little easier, it'll be privilege to help.

I have worked and founded early-stage startups as well as led teams whilst reporting directly to investors. Now, my day-to-day consists in developing strategies, launching new businesses and working closely with our startup clients to provide them strategic expertise and ongoing marketing support
