About

Tech Enthusiast | Business Developer |

Translational science and innovation are my passion. Throughout my career, I have been poking and probing the world around us to unravel all of its complexities. As Carl Sagan once said, "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." Exciting are the times when these scientific findings bring about tangible improvements and transform the world for the better. I am committed to engaging with the entrepreneurs and philanthropists who share this vision and, in doing so, help them in reaching their goals. 

I received my doctoral degree at the Swiss Institute of Technology in the field of Cellular and Molecular Biology and have an entrepreneurial spirit with prior experience in venture capital. I am always looking for new ideas and partners, particularly in Health Tech, Life Sciences, AgTech, and Food Tech. My goal is to bridge the gap between academic and commercial organizations, catalyzing the onset of transformative solutions for our present and future needs.
