Angel Investor
Backing founders in my personal capacity. Focus areas: Enterprise Tech, Consumer, and Future of Work. Investment thesis: People-first. I look for founders who understand their customers deeply and are solving boring but important problems.
Exploring
Thinking about how AI changes the way businesses are built, and what it means to build technology companies in todays age. Writing and speaking about these topics as I work through them.
In the past
I worked as a Product Owner at SAP AI, responsible for research and development on one of SAP's most promising AI application suites. Probably one of the youngest Product Owners there. Great and humbling experience seeing how enterprise software is developed at scale. Spoiler alert: way more meetings than anyone expects, but the end result actually works for millions of people across the globe. This is where I learned that enterprise software is about user confidence, not user experience.
I also founded My First Campus, a startup in computer-adaptive assessments to help companies find quality talent. Selected for SAP Startup Focus. It ran for 18 months and then it didn't. The market wasn't ready, and neither was I. That failure turned out to be the most valuable education of my life.
