I am a Co-Founder and Managing Director of an impact venture fund HEED Capital. At HEED we are on a mission to create a world where impact- and sustainability-driven entrepreneurship is a norm and to lead the venture capital industry towards profitable and scalable sustainable investments.
I am an impact investor with over 13 years of experience in business strategy, branding & marketing, and strategic advisory. Prior to HEED Capital, I designed and launched a brand for an enterprise technology company that reached $100M annual revenue in 3 years, developed the strategy for EY Center of Innovations, led Marketing for IBM Hardware in 10 countries, created a strategy for a venture fund building an end-to-end digital VC infrastructure, and lots of other exciting projects.
However, my true passion lies at the intersection of innovation and impact. Six years ago, I launched, as a side project, an intellectual volunteering platform (150+ projects), and built a community of international business professionals (2000+ members) who drive positive social change. And it was when it all started! Now with HEED, we are taking it on the whole new level by building an ecosystem supporting mission-driven founders solving the world's biggest challenges.
I also serve as an advisor to early-stage technology companies in the US and internationally. I can add the most value in business strategy, branding and positioning, and go-to-market strategy.
