I am a manager and entrepreneur, specializing in getting things done. I have a can-do attitude, and I am fluent in the languages of technology and business (and also fluent in German, Spanish and English). I am an outgoing business person and generalist, with the soul of an engineer.I have direct experience starting businesses from scratch, assembling the initial team, setting company and development goals, working within a budget, meeting deadlines, finding launch customers, setting prices, crafting a product vision and executing on it. Phew! Really. I also have experience working at the best, most recognizable, global technology company, coordinating across functions to make visions become reality. My first company, which was backed by a top-tier venture capital fund, had a successful exit. My second company, which I bootstrapped, also had a successful exit after 8 years. I started a business in an unrelated field -making gelato- but I am staying behind the scenes, mainly testing the product to ensure quality. I also helped start a technology business in real estate, where I was founding CTO. My passions include creating great products that make people's lives better (and more fun) and have a demonstrated ROI. And skiing, sailing and flying.Importantly, I also have a passion for making connections between people. If you think I can help in any way, please let me know.Specialties: Entrepreneur, starting projects from scratch and creating valuable technology solutions; ability to be the bridge between technology and business visions, and synthesize both into a coherent execution plan.
