Exploring the intersection of technology, strategy, and creativity.
I help businesses navigate complex digital landscapes, from global M&A deals to strategic transformations.
About Me
Hey.
I'm a technology strategist who finds clarity in complexity. My path started at the edge of deep tech and creativity, with a degree in computer graphics and animation and a minor in business administration. After a handful of curiosity-driven career moves, I evolved into the high-stakes world of M&A technology advisory.
My journey has been non-linear but enriching, providing me with a comprehensive 360-degree perspective. From hands-on tech support and team growth at HP/Ericsson to a Google Maps project, European IT programme management at Henry Schein, and assessing over 60 companies at BearingPoint Capital, each step has broadened my expertise. My professional leadership studies at Oxford further honed my strategic thinking.
I’m just as comfortable discussing detailed IT infrastructure optimization with a CTO as I am brainstorming creative growth strategies with a startup founder. Fluent in English, German, and Bulgarian, I thrive in cross-cultural environments and help organizations unlock the true potential of their technology investments.
Here are some public recommendations others have given me on LinkedIn.
