As a BSI certified AI Management Systems Practitioner, I'm now looking to bring that experience into the AI industry, alongside my growing specialism in AI governance and ISO/IEC 42001.

    Infinite Visions

    Co-Founder & Brand Strategist

    I ran Infinite Visions for just over a year together. It was a creative agency specialising in branding. We won a regional startup award and worked with clients from all over the world on various fascinating and fun projects. Despite our love for brand strategy, we decided to put Infinite Visions on hold when my business partner and I received investment for Quuu.co - an exciting tech startup that we had been working on in our spare time.

    PokerFacePR

    Founder

    After university, I completed a Public Affairs internship with Grayling (part of WPP Group) before launching PokerFacePR, a digital public relations agency for professional poker players. Entirely self-taught, I grew the business to become the second-largest agency in its niche, representing two World Champions alongside a number of prominent online personalities and professional players. I subsequently sold the company to one of my Swiss clients. This experience gave me an early grounding in business development, client relationships and building a service from the ground up.

Beyond work

What makes me tick

Triathlon

Two Ironman 70.3 finishes (St. Pölten & Barcelona) — and just as happy at sprint and olympic distance.

Golf

Playing since age four. Currently a 5.4 handicap.

Vibe Coding

Built multiple apps with AI, most recently Trader-Dash.com — the tooling that finally lets non-technical founders realise their visions.

Samaritans

Real-time volunteer support on the suicide lines since 2024.

Markets

Trading since 2010, with a deep interest in investment strategy.

People

For me, people are what matter most. I am a deeply people-centric person who values getting to know everyone that I am fortunate enough to meet. It's why I have always loved being a manager. Understanding my team's needs, their personalities and learning what makes THEM tick, is something that I will always enjoy. At the end of the day, people matter more than anything. So good communication is a skill that I value highly.
