Originally trained as a physicist and economist, he serendipitously applied his background to IT and logistics, eventually becoming the tech co-founder of Leshop.ch – a pioneering e-grocery startup that scaled into a major national supermarket and remains one of the few profitable pure-play models worldwide. Following this exit, he consulted across Europe and the Far East for companies of all sizes in related domains, including work with McKinsey. He later became an Investor Partner and Advisor at Antler in Sydney, Singapore, and Iberia – a venture fund that recruits entrepreneurial talent and helps them build companies from scratch. Throughout his journey, he discovered a strong aptitude for deeply understanding technology, evaluating its relevance in context, and applying it effectively under tight budget constraints. This core CTO skillset now underpins his work as an advisor and angel investor in early-stage startups, where he supports teams in building disciplined, resource-aligned engineering strategies that support their business goals.
