Neo created a vertical integration of solar, wind and energy storage companies through M&A from mining to manufacturing to EPC by investing and acquiring CO2 reducing ventures. I led the investment and technology evaluation, due diligence as well as strategically building the vertical.

IBIS Power was an award-winning company providing revolutionary, innovative renewable energy solutions with highest impact to society. IBIS' flagship product “PowerNEST” is the breakthrough solution being the first and only able to generate up to 10 times more energy on the limited roof space of high-rise buildings than current solar applications. With a single roof addition containing an integrated structure of solar and wind energy with Venturi-funnel, PowerNEST generates all electric energy for up to 15 building levels with an attractive ROI. PowerNEST is named the crown on the building by renowned architects for its architectural integration and pleasing esthetics.Delivered as CEO & Founder:• Led company from start-up to scale-up with large international traction.• Built a sales funnel of >500M$ of qualified leads.• Developed a partnership model for accelerated international growth.• Created global product awareness resulting of millions of online views. • Contracted 9M$ in growth capital in equity, grants, and bank financing• Invented 3 products secured with 5 patent families.• Research led to Invention of first effective roof wind energy technology. • Developed core team of highly qualified individuals with commercial and tech expertise and a winning attitude.• 34 International awards for innovation, technology, and business plans.

Non Profit organization bringing people together to have real conversations guided by a moderator

As CTO of UINI I developed an Air2Water product for the tourism industry on Caribbean islands. The solution is a remote, off-grid water point creating water from air humidity while providing Internet WiFi, electricity for charging and a light for safety in National parks of islands without the need for infrastructure and saving millions of plastic water bottles.

European representative of the University of Miami - College of Engineering Alumni Association (CoEAA) as member of the Board of Directors organizing networking events for alumni in Europe.

Educational startup in the field of proptech, contech and cleantech seed stage technologies in a development collaboration between academia and industry. • Develop startup from idea to self-sustaining business.• Build a management team.• Set up admin, marketing, sales, HR and accreditation compliance.• Attract 12 honors-level postgraduates per year for external R&D projects.• Develop sales channels with returning customers.• Reach 2.4M$ revenue with 2.4M$ booked sales.• Establish international collaboration between ESADE (ESP), KTH (SE), UPC (ESP) and TU/e (NL) - HQ.

Business Development with key industrial partners, Managing start-up process, Fundraising, R&D grant proposals, and performing R&D for the Integrated Roof Wind Energy System (IRWES).

Coordinate renewable energy related research projects and grant proposals; National and European. Collaborations and support for chairs in the School of the Built Environment in order to establish sound interdisciplinairy research, innovation and touch on International opportunities.

Investigations include renewable wind energy with emphasis on Integrated Rof Wind Energy System, application and implementation of renewable energy systems in the built environment, Non-Destructive Health Monitoring with emphasis on Acoustic Emission.

Contribute to integration of technical science disciplines related to the built environment in order to create innovation as an answer to structural and civil engineering problems. Tasks are usually divided by expertise in the R&D team. Technical specialists have different focus than the business developers, and in between there is the scientist innovator to give the necessary input of new ideas, change direction of thoughts and contribute to the overall creativity to novel, optimize, and strenghten the project outcomes.Relevant example projects are AE Fatigue Monitoring of Offshore Wind Mills, AE Monitoring of Concrete and Steel Bridges, Rapid Manufacturing Structural Elements, Innovation for Prevention Construction Errors, Tunnel Mitigation Studies, Concrete Multi-Scale FEM Modeling, Safety Distances Explosion Loads to Quay Walls and Offshore, Wind Loading High Rise Façade Elements, and Structural Field Testing.
