Speaker Bio
Passionate about open innovation, technology, and startups, I’m skillful in starting new projects from scratch, building partnerships and support early-stage companies in the intersection of innovation/technology/impact.

In my latest position, I managed the international ecosystem relationships, business development, and strategic projects at The Collider/Mobile World Capital, a tech transfer venture builder that bridges the gap between science and market, creating disruptive technology-based startups in the fields of health, energy, cleantech, and manufacturing. Before I was the knowledge manager and program director of the 4YFN startup events around the world.
