About me

Internationally experienced entrepreneur and executive with over 20 years in energy, eMobility, IoT, and clean technology, driving innovation, scaling businesses, and creating value across Europe, North America, and Asia - Pacific. I have founded, led, and developed organizations pioneering IoT, residential flexibility, virtual power plants (VPPs), and connected energy platforms. After completing the successful integration of Jedlix BV into Kraken Technologies following its acquisition, I am now transitioning out of Kraken to focus on collaborating with private equity and venture capital investors. My objective is to share my entrepreneurial experience, strategic insight, and network to help portfolio companies grow, pivot, and capture new value opportunities as an independent board director, strategic advisor, or sector expert. With 20 years leading energy, eMobility, IoT and demand flexibility ventures, scaling platforms across Europe and Asia, I am uniquely positioned to support a portfolio company's strategic acceleration or advise on investment opportunities. My track record in building B2B2C models, navigating regulated markets, and aligning utilities, OEMs and innovators helps unlock new growth levers. I bring board - level governance, network access, and commercial rigor to optimize value in growth settings. I am driven by mission: the chance to guide transition - tech companies toward scale and sustainable impact.
