I am inspired by the current change in society, the ongoing technological development and its impact on traditional business models.

My position as managing director for companies such as NZZ, Handelsblatt, Die Zeit, Madsack Media/ TheMediaLab and being shareholder and founder of various companies in digital media (apploft, parship, wesound, radio.de, crane.tv, youval, voixen …) has enabled me to actively be part of these transformations.

Before embarking in the digital world I studied business and management and opened four Sportswear speciality stores (BHP) while playing competitive Field hockey in the National Team.

My source of motivation is my wonderful wife and our two beautiful children.
