Since I was in my ear­ly twen­ties (about 20 years ago…), I have been involved in ini­tia­tives that, in some way or oth­er, tried to make soci­ety a bit more inclu­sive and just. I co-found­ed and head­ed some of those ini­tia­tives and joined oth­ers as a fel­low. My expe­ri­ence with vol­un­teer work and my back­ground … Con­tin­ued

I’ve spent 15 years work­ing in non-prof­its, first in open data advo­ca­cy and then slow­ly mov­ing into inves­tiga­tive jour­nal­ism. There, I got involved in cross-bor­der anti­cor­rup­tion inves­ti­ga­tions, which often deal with finan­cial crime, mon­ey laun­der­ing and tax eva­sion. Part of that was build­ing a “per­sons of inter­est” data­base, which Open­Sanc­tions is now derived from.

Grad­u­at­ed engi­neer, I had the first part of my career in dig­i­tal pay­ment and fin­tech indus­try. With this expe­ri­ence of more than 15 years sup­port­ing mar­ket lead­ers in their strate­gies and the devel­op­ment of their dig­i­tal solu­tions in Europe and Africa, I decid­ed to turn this exper­tise towards dig­i­tal­iza­tion oppor­tu­ni­ties on a con­ti­nent full of … Con­tin­ued

After study­ing eco­nom­ics & law in Ger­many & Fin­land and valu­able expe­ri­ence in con­sult­ing, tech start-ups and cor­po­rate inno­va­tion, I was not con­vinced by the way busi­ness was done. I looked for a more holis­tic approach to solve glob­al chal­lenges. Thus, I spe­cial­ized in social entre­pre­neur­ship and sus­tain­able finance dur­ing my master’s in Por­tu­gal and … Con­tin­ued
