Born in the UK, I grew up in both London, England and Kitzbühel, Austria. After an education that spanned England and Switzerland, I completed my undergraduate studies at business school and began my career in capital markets. 

Serving as a board director of waste-to-energy company Worldwide Natural Resources PLC, I was cited as the youngest CEO of a company listed on the London Stock Exchange. It represented the first step into one of my passions: progressive world-changing innovation. 

I have served as an IPO, acquisitions and Venture Capital consultant. Working with companies listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and a number of US markets has given me in-depth knowledge of financial markets and business growth strategies. 

I am a regular keynote speaker and writer across a range of topics within entrepreneurship, leadership, investments, financial markets trading and economics.
