Summary

I am a computer engineer by training and, thanks to my strong entrepreneurial mindset, curiosity, and eagerness to learn, I recently completed an MBA in Innovation and Business Creation at TUM School of Management.

As a startup founder and biotechnology software consultant, I gained experience in digital product management, steering conception and prototyping, and developed fundamental skills such as analytical thinking and strategic vision.

I love being creative, thinking out of the box, and bringing ideas to life. My playground is Innovation: I enjoy researching and envisioning how it might influence people's behaviors and enrich their lives.
