I’m an engineer and Internet advocate with an entrepreneurial mindset. Raised with the x86 architecture. My father brought home an IBM PC in '83. From that moment, I was hooked. Consequently built my first network (Novell-based) in the late eighties and entered the BBS world around 1990. First connected to the Internet in '93.
My heroes
and role models are found among the entrepreneurs and technicians who built the modern PC industry from the 1960s and laid the foundations for today's connected world. The '70s and '80s were a fascinating era of technological development where a generation of business executives managed to combine deep technical know-how with a vision of how computerization would change our society. They then transformed that vision into amazing innovations and businesses which we still benefit greatly from today.
I'm currently working on three different projects, Boka, Youcal and NOS.Cash. Boka is a web-based booking system with over 6 000 service providers and 170 000 end-users. Youcal is a global PaaS built for the service industry. NOS.Cash is a blockchain-style stablecoin project with a massive global community.
I’m a founding partner of True Global Ventures, an early-stage investment vehicle formed by some of the world's leading technology entrepreneurs-turned-angel-investors.
During the last twenty years, I have had the privilege to work with some amazing people. Together we have planted, nurtured and grown a host of viable businesses. We have engaged with some of the worlds most interesting customers and partners, and we have done over twenty successful full and partial exits. I’m grateful every day that I get to be part of this stage of human evolution and for the people that put their trust in me. And for the opportunity I have been granted to give something back.
