I’ve always been drawn to ambitious people solving complex problems. Before Fortino Ventures, I built Picus Capital with the firm’s leadership for 7 years & had the pleasure working with ambitious technical founders across B2B SaaS, cybersecurity, fintech, and AI in Europe & the US. I love being in the trenches with founders & operators, working through product-market fit, building high-impact teams, and positioning companies for fast but sustainable growth. In 2024, I joined Fortino to help build our Munich office and launch the DACH VC franchise. I combine entrepreneurial drive and investment experience with a strong network in the local tech ecosystem, focusing on cybersecurity, infrastructure, and industrial & manufacturing software. I believe curiosity is one of an investor’s greatest assets, and I try to live by it. Recently, I took on my most rewarding challenge yet - becoming a father to a young son.
