Hey there, my dear LinkedIn visitor 👋 Here I'm supposed to sum up my life 👇
Well.
I started as a software engineer in Chicago. Joined a hyper-growth startup in San Francisco. Launched a cleantech business in Kenya. Became a VC investor in Berlin. And launched a VC fund in Germany...
Pfiou 😮💨 (yeah, been grinding...)
Real talk?
A lot of hustle. Some wins, many scars, endless learning. And it all led to one big realization:
I’m here to take on the greatest challenge of our time: the climate crisis.
Why?
Because we need healthy food, safe water, clean air, and a thriving biosphere to survive—and to find meaning in life.
As for humanoid robots, Skynet, and living on Mars under oxygen masks? I’ll leave that to the Silicon Valley bros.
So, how am I tackling this climate crisis?
I’ve found my superpower: Investing.
7 years, 40 startups, 6.13x ROI 🔥 (unrealized, most investments still in play)
My mission now? To channel massive capital into Climate Tech ventures that slash megatons of CO2 emissions.
This isn’t just a career; it’s my life mission.
And I’m here to help the boldest founders and investors build world-changing companies.
If that’s you, let’s connect and make some waves 🌊

🕋 Zero Point Technologies When people ask what I do as a Product Manager, I describe my role as ensuring that developers have the clarity and context they need to build the best possible solution. I see myself as an architect, designing a clear blueprint that guides the construction of a home that’s not only functional but also exceptional. Together, we ensure the vision becomes reality—building something great, from the foundation up.
Over the years, I've honed my expertise in diverse industries, including education, publishing, media, and IT consulting. This experience has given me a unique perspective on solving complex challenges. My focus is not only on building innovative products but also on optimizing processes, ensuring cost-effectiveness, and enhancing customer satisfaction.
One of my core beliefs is that the success of a new product or workflow hinges on user adoption. Even the most brilliant solutions can fall short if customers and business stakeholders are left in the dark. This is where my skills in training and user adoption come into play. I specialize in bridging the gap between developers and end-users, facilitating seamless adoption and proficiency. In helping internal users to become proficient, they are in turn better able to support customers.
My professional journey has led me to the intersection of education and technology, where I've found my passion. It's in this realm that I've thrived, exploring the synergies between product management and training. I believe that continuous learning and effective training are not just essential components of product success; they're also integral to personal and professional growth.
If you share my enthusiasm for process improvement, the pursuit of learning objectives, or the art of bookmaking, I'd be delighted to connect. Let's engage in a conversation about how we can collaborate, innovate, and drive positive change in our respective fields.
