Speaker Bio
I am a serial entrepreneur and CEO passionate about bridging the gap between high-growth tech companies and large corporates in the telecommunications and technology ecosystem. As the CEO of Match-Maker Ventures (MMV), I have built a global platform that enables impactful “Corp-Up” collaborations, helping scaleups seamlessly integrate with corporate giants. Under my leadership, MMV has become a trusted strategic partner for close to 20 scaleups, driving innovation and business impact in more than 40 global markets.
Before founding and leading MMV, I was part of the global telecom leadership team at Arthur D. Little, where I advised multi-billion-dollar companies and financial investors on strategic growth initiatives. My work spanned 22 countries, providing me with a unique global perspective on corporate strategy, innovation, and scaling businesses.
In addition to my work at MMV, I serve on advisory boards for several tech companies, where I help shape strategies for growth and innovation. I also lecture at the Vienna University of Economics and Business and regularly deliver keynote speeches on corporate-startup collaboration, innovation, and scaling growth-stage businesses.
Academically, I hold a Ph.D. in Law and dual Master’s degrees in Business Administration and Law, with studies in Austria and the United States. My global experience, combined with a passion for fostering meaningful partnerships, drives me to create impactful connections between scaleups and corporates worldwide.
