"I operate at the 'Double Helix' of innovation: intertwined strands of Corporate Rigor and Venture Velocity. On one side, I am the Corporate Builder, forged in the zero-failure environments of Hewlett-Packard and Maag Holding. On the other, I am the Venture Scaler, driving unicorn growth for SellerX and pioneering IoT startups. My mandate is to fuse these worlds—translating the 'Move Fast' ethos of startups into the 'De-Risking' frameworks required by Private Equity."
"I registered this domain in 1999, long before the 'Internet of Things' became a buzzword. Even then, I recognized that the future of value creation lay at the convergence of 'Planet' (Physical Infrastructure, Real Estate, Heavy Industry) and 'Smart' (Digital Intelligence, Code, and Connectivity). This site is not a portfolio; it is the engineering log of a 35-year mission to bridge the gap between the concrete reality of the built world and the exponential potential of the digital one."
“This journey has never been about following the trend—it has been about engineering the next one.”
Moving beyond the role of a builder to that of a guardian. I currently partner with Private Equity firms to conduct forensic code audits, de-risk AI portfolios, and translate 'Technical Debt' into 'Financial Debt'—protecting exit multiples before the deal is signed.
Engineering the velocity required for a Unicorn. At SellerX, I scaled the engineering organization from 0 to 40+ engineers in 4 months, stabilizing the chaotic 'Buy-and-Build' integration of 40+ e-commerce brands into a coherent, cloud-native logistics engine.
Defining the bleeding edge. I co-founded Venty to digitize Trade Finance using Hyperledger blockchain and SmartLoc to bring intelligence to B2B logistics. Previously with Shaspa, I partnered with IBM to bridge the gap between silicon chips and the cloud, creating the middleware for the early 'Smarter Planet'.
Turning physical concrete into digital equity. I architected REIS, one of the industry's first web-based PropTech platforms, which digitized Maag's multi-billion CHF portfolio. This transparency was the linchpin that enabled the successful exit to Swiss Prime Site.
Forged in the era of Unix and PA-RISC. As a Lead Engineer for HP partners and EMEA Business Development exec for Autodesk, I instilled the banking-grade discipline—'Zero-Failure' architecture—that became the bedrock of my career.
