Entrepreneur & Computer Scientist*
I'm driven by technology, data & innovation. Paired with focus and sharp analysis, they shape how I build products and take them to market.
Experience
I've lived the full life cycle of building companies, first-hand. Here's what I learned:
Building
Lean startup, MVPs, product development, product/market fit, go-to-market, pivoting.
Operating
Management, leadership, scaling, sales, marketing, financing, fund raising, restructuring.
Exiting
The one where you get paid and the one where you get mostly experience. ;-)
…and I did this in different roles:
Kingfluencers AG
Co-founder & CEO — grew it from concept to multi-million revenue over ~4 years, through to an exit to naoo.
Panamove
Co-founder — went from idea to MVP and revenue, testing the business model through to shut-down.
Ehminem
Co-founder — built an AI podcast tool from idea to market entry, then a pivot and an exit to a competitor.
While I don't like putting people into boxes, if I had to define myself it'd probably be as an Entrepreneur & Computer Scientist. But there are also other words that would at least describe part of me:
Let's connect.
About
About Me
I'm an entrepreneur by heart and computer scientist by training (CS graduate ETH Zurich).
I co-founded and helped build multiple startups into multi-million businesses.
Currently I'm working on multiple projects at different stages and industries. Always with a digital edge and technology & data at the core.
I also love to share my knowledge. Below are some of the formats and places where I've done this — and I'm always happy to try new ones.
Just get in touch if I can support you with anything.

Press
In the media
The startups I founded got media coverage from a variety of national and international outlets such as Tages Anzeiger, Bilanz, Handelszeitung, 20min, Blick am Abend, Techcrunch, The Verge, TNW, Lifehacker, Werbewoche, persönlich, The Wall Street Journal and many more. Personally, I rarely do interviews, but you can find a few selected ones here:
Things people might not know about me
- I'm also a food technologist by training, doing my apprenticeship at BINA (Bischofszell Nahrungsmittel AG), where I was part of the front-line workforce and gained first-hand experience in industry. It was an invaluable experience that still has an influence on me to this day.
- I'm the World's 31st best Solitaire player: I wanted to break into the top 50 and then stop playing. I've rarely played a game since.
- I had various different side-jobs: I distributed newspapers, sold insurances and newspapers as a call center agent, did keyword-stuffing (also known as SEO nowadays) at HolidayCheck and worked on a chicken farm.
