Serial SaaS and marketplace founder driving revenue, AI, and global scale.
What I'm looking for
I am a serial SaaS and marketplace founder with 14 years scaling B2B and B2C ventures across EMEA and North America, blending C-suite leadership with hands-on product and AI expertise. I have grown GMV to $4M+, secured $100K+ in startup deals, raised venture and grant funding, and shipped market-ready platforms with AI-driven modules that increased merchant GMV by 18%.
I design and execute ICP-centered go-to-market strategies, build high-performance teams, and architect microservice-based platforms and ERP integrations to unlock new revenue and operational efficiencies. I have led cross-functional teams, negotiated strategic pilots with enterprise partners, and represented ventures at major global tech events to drive adoption and investor interest.
