Professionally, I’m curious about how to make peoples lifes more productive and secure. I believe security isn’t just a technical challenge, but a shift in mindset. Something we can only solve collectively, through awareness and owned responsibility.

Outside of work, I’m usually moving. I’ve spent many years in contact sports, where focus, dedication and persistence shaped the way I approach challenges. Fun fact: despite the ship in my profile background, I’m actually more into aviation. But I deeply admire those who sail. The calmness and the connection with ocean inspire me. That’s why I keep the picture: it reminds me to be inspired not only by what I do, but by what others do differently.

I started out studying organizations, working in a Big Four firm with a focus on auditing organisations and understanding their business challenges. I then moved into the IT sector, supporting organizations to use technology to solve these challenges. I had the chance to specialize in entrepreneurship and innovation at WU Vienna and LUISS Rome. Growing up in an international family, I learned to stay open to different perspectives and had to learn more languages than I wanted as a kid. Europe isn’t just a region I work in, it’s where I am rooted: professionally and personally.
