My Background 

Education

I hold a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Finance and Global Management from one of the nationally recognized US universities (Fairleigh Dickinson University). In addition to my MBA, I hold a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. Through my academic studies, I gained a strong foundation in the principles of finance, management, and business strategy. I also honed my analytical and critical thinking skills, which have proven invaluable in my career as a business professional and startup mentor. With my exceptional education and real-world experience, I am well-equipped to provide my clients with world-class mentorship and guidance.

 

Certificates

I am proud to hold various certificates that showcase my commitment to continuous learning and professional development. Specifically, I have achieved the Wealth Management in Sport certificate from Barca Innovation HUB, which has given me a deep understanding of the unique financial and management challenges faced by sports organizations. In addition, I have completed the Creative Skills for Innovation certificate from Google, which has helped me to develop a creative and innovative mindset that I bring to all of my professional endeavors. These certificates demonstrate my passion for learning and my commitment to staying at the forefront of industry trends and best practices.​

​

Specialization

I have guided numerous startups across various industries, such as sportstech, medtech, telemedicine, fintech, foodtech, agrotech, hrtech, blockchain, NFTs, and crypto. I am passionate about supporting early-stage, pre-seed, seed, and scale-up companies to achieve their goals. My expertise lies in creating winning pitch decks, preparing founders to pitch in front of investors, and assisting with fundraising. To date, I have helped raise over €8M through my substantial network of industry professionals, institutions, corporations, venture capital funds, and private angel investors. While I have a wealth of experience in these areas, I am always eager to explore new and emerging industries. Additionally, I have extensive experience in wealth management and strive to guide my clients on how to prepare for their retirement.
