Grew up in Germany and have a background in international business. People tell me that I have traits of a geek - totally into science, sci-fi and gadgets but also love sports. I practice Thai boxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, work out in the gym, scuba dive and love hiking. If you are my friend, get used to meet totally random people at my parties and being picked up off the ground (I call that hugging).

Love traveling and the world: lived in Shanghai for 8 years an din Mexico for a semester which I can totally recommend. Been to 34 countries on 6 continents. Some highlights for me were China for its inspiring energy and rapid change, Chile for its landscapes and wines (big Carmenere fan), Germany for its beers (and you can legally drink them on the street too!), Cameroon for its wide spectrum of African landscape... it goes on and on. Love to experience new cultures, their food (you can consider me an omnivore in cuisine and lifeforms), listen to heir language / music and make friends with the locals.

Work-wise, I am into Startups that aim to put a dent into our universe!
