As a seasoned CTO / Chief Product Officer with deep expertise across MedTech, HealthTech, FoodTech, and AgriTech, I've successfully guided companies from early-stage concept through Series B funding and successful exits. This journey has taught me that the most critical phase for any startup is when they need senior technical leadership but aren't ready for a full-time executive commitment.

Executive Roles

• Founder/CEO positions across MedTech, HealthTech, SportsTech, Food Tech and AgriTech
  • €80M successful exit (MedTech)
  • 18+ years of business leadership from early-stage to Series B and beyond

• CTO at Ottobock SE and Exoneural Network (2019-2023): Led 16-engineer team developing medical devices
  • 14 patents as inventor
  • Built and scaled technical teams across hardware/software development
  • Modernized medical device product lines and developed next-gen technologies

• Smart clothing product line: From concept to €80M exit, supporting thousands of users
• Sustainable agriculture solutions: Modular, organic farming technology
• Medical devices and rehabilitation tech: Multiple product launches across MedTech/HealthTech
• Cross-industry expertise: Successfully launched products in SportsTech, AgriTech, FoodTech, MedTech, and renewable energy

Self-Taught Professional Development

• Technical Expertise: Built through 18+ years of founding and scaling tech companies
• Leadership Skills: Developed during 14 years as professional athlete and subsequent executive roles
