ABOUT ME
I’m an independent consultant specializing in venture clienting, corporate venturing, and open innovation. Working with the pioneers at 27pilots, I helped global corporations design and implement effective venture client models to drive strategic startup collaboration. I hold an MBA in Innovation and Business Creation from TU Munich, and bring a truly international perspective, with professional experience across Germany, Mexico, and Silicon Valley. I support organizations in identifying, engaging, and extracting measurable value from startups—accelerating innovation while reducing risk.

I offer tailored consulting services in venture clienting, corporate-startup collaboration, and open innovation strategy. From designing and implementing venture client units to scouting high-potential startups and structuring pilot programs, I help organizations unlock real business value from external innovation. Whether you're building a new venture client initiative or looking to optimize existing startup engagement, I provide hands-on support backed by global experience.
My services include specialized consulting in venture clienting, corporate-startup collaboration, and open innovation, with deep cross-industry expertise. My experience spans aerospace (including defense and space), insurance, energy and clean energy, cement and construction, and marketplaces.
