Bio

My journey began with studying Music and Media Arts at the HKB in Bern. During this time, the urge to make a difference led me to co-found an e-commerce startup specializing in niche brands. The team grew, we became market leaders and sold these webshops. However, the art of creating digital solutions was the journey I wanted to continue. In 2017, my unwavering pursuit of growth and innovation led me to co-found Mindnow with Jean-Paul. By this time, I had already built a strong foundation of experience in entrepreneurship. And here I am! Until today, I have a passion for pushing boundaries and inspiring innovation.
