About me
I have a passion for venture capital and more than 25 years of experience in the industry. My career has taken me through numerous national and international roles with a focus on M&A and VC/PE capital raising for growth companies in Europe, the Gulf States and the US.
In 2006, I had the honour of becoming co-founder and CEO of Zukunftsfonds Heilbronn (ZFHN), where I played a key role in the company’s development. Within ZFHN, I sat on a number of early stage investment advisory boards and made a significant contribution to supporting emerging companies.
Earlier in my career, I had the pleasure of being the founder and CEO of Innovationsfabrik Heilbronn, a major business incubation centre. This gave me valuable insights into the world of start-ups and their needs.
I have also been an active investor in international technology start-ups for many years and use my knowledge and experience to help innovative companies on their way to success.
