Solving hard problems with the help of technology is what gives me energy to create and innovate every day. Our team works on exciting projects such as:
Embley is a Marketplace Automation Platform that helps merchants and sellers, market and sell their products better and faster using a unique Intelligent Process Automation engine.
At Active Rock we design and engineer innovative socks with the specific needs of a sport in mind, and for all types of athletes, regardless of skill level.
Maison du Vélo aims at creating physical and digital spaces for cycling enthusiasts. We love to share our passion for cycling. We are the go-to place for all your cycling needs including bicycles, bike parts, apparel accessories, repairs, bike fitting and cycling experiences.
Doing the right thing at the right time is the hardest goal to achieve for startups. I spend time with young entrepreneurs, companies I've invested in as well as my peers to mentor (and get mentored as well) them.
My goal is to unlock the potential of the young generation of entrepreneurs.
As enthusiast photographer, I capture moments in life. Discover my melting pot of pictures taken around the world while travelling for work or leisure. Shots taken with Nikon cameras and iPhone lately.
