Mensch

I was born in 1985, happily married and have 2 wonderful children. As a family who loves to travel, we spend our free time in beautiful places around the world. As a sports enthusiast, I am always looking for new sporting challenges and love speed.

As someone who embraces life with open arms, I'm less concerned about what others think of me, focusing instead on making the most of every moment. I always view criticism as constructive feedback. My energy and entrepreneurial spirit propel me forward in both social settings and discussions, where I inspire others with my enthusiasm for the new and visionary. I often have a keen sense for emerging trends and developments and possess the rare ability to juggle multiple things at once – a glance at my Kindle, filled with books on various topics, and the "jungle" of notes in my phone suffices as proof. With a resolute nature and a clear set of goals in sight, I don't easily stray from my path. Despite having achieved considerable success and financial stability, I keep going. When asked why I don't just stop, my answer is always: Because I'm not done yet! I pursue my visions with focused energy, always open to the next step towards the goals I've set in my personal 12-year plan. Yes, you read that right: a 12-year plan that precisely defines my next steps and helps me be proud of today, tomorrow!

View

The notion that success is easily attainable persists. As an entrepreneur, however, you know that this is far from the truth. Hard work and team spirit are the driving forces behind every successful business. Entrepreneurship is a challenge with its own costs, but also its rewards. The trick is to view each challenge as a common source of motivation. After all, problems are basically just opportunities to change direction, or are they?

Rather, success itself depends on the combined efforts of all involved to achieve a common goal. But sometimes greed and the egos of individuals present unexpected obstacles. It is a fallacy to believe that the accumulation of possessions leads to happiness. In fact, it is recognition and shared experiences that produce true happiness. And when we do what we love, happiness seems to attract us almost magically.

Doch wir dürfen nicht vergessen, dass Scheitern ein unvermeidlicher Teil des Prozesses ist. Meine persönlichen Misserfolge haben mir im Laufe der Jahre unbezahlbare Lektionen vermittelt. Die Weisheit, dass man sieben Mal hinfallen und acht Mal wieder aufstehen kann, verdeutlicht die Bedeutung von Widerstandsfähigkeit und Siegeswillen. Diese Botschaft versuche ich stets zu vermitteln, wenn ich mich mit anderen Unternehmern austausche.

What you do with this information is entirely up to you, but remember: the only thing the world owes you is opportunity.

To your success,

Angel Investor

I help young entrepreneurs achieve their business and personal goals by bringing a wealth of passion, experience and knowledge. From technology to project development to exit strategy, I act as an investor in an ever-growing portfolio of companies.

As a mentor and coach, I examine the needs of the business, analyze the problems and develop manageable solutions for business growth. I also help to improve the profitability of each company by optimizing the marketing structure and strategy.

Direct Co-Investor

Als Direct Co-Investor unterstütze ich Family Offices und Private Equity-Gesellschaften durch aktive Direct Co-Investments. Mein Engagement beginnt bereits beim Deal Sourcing, profitiert von meinem umfassenden Netzwerk und erstreckt sich über die gesamte Deal-Phase. Dabei übernehme ich nicht nur die Selektion potenzieller Investitionen, sondern beteilige mich auch direkt an der Due Diligence und treffe eigenständige Entscheidungen über Co-Investments.

My role is characterized by professionalism, agility, and a high level of commitment. In particular, my strengths lie in supporting due diligence processes and providing industry-specific expertise.

As a continuous point of contact, I accompany selected transactions from the evaluation phase in the Investment Committee through negotiations to closing and beyond. Through active monitoring and support in the exit strategy to my network, I ensure that I am perceived as a reliable and effective partner who significantly contributes to the success of each deal

Strategischer Investmentpartner

A key aspect of my role as a strategic investment partner involves close collaboration with Managing Directors of PE funds and Family Offices. Through regular communication, I ensure that all parties are continuously informed about current market developments and potential investment opportunities.

In addition to analytical and advisory activities, I am actively involved in the design and implementation of investment projects. This includes negotiating and structuring deals, overseeing portfolio companies, and initiating strategic measures to enhance value.

In the constantly evolving global economy, I strive to proactively identify new opportunities and develop innovative solutions. The goal is to adapt the portfolios of funds and family offices to changing market conditions and effectively protect and grow their assets.

Therefore, my role requires not only a deep understanding of financial instruments and markets but also a forward-thinking mindset and the ability to maintain and expand long-term relationships. Geographically, my focus is on the DACH region and the MENA region.
