For the last three years, I’ve been with Theia Finance Labs (for­mer­ly 2° Invest­ing Ini­tia­tive). Ini­tial­ly, I played a key role as the Deputy Research Head of 1in1000, a new pro­gramme we intro­duced. This was my first dive into launch­ing a pro­gramme, cov­er­ing strat­e­gy, mar­ket­ing, and man­ag­ing peo­ple. After its suc­cess­ful start, I chose to … 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.

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

As a Berlin based entre­pre­neur who spent 10+ years in the Start­Up world I was lucky to gain expe­ri­ences trough var­i­ous ven­tures as a founder, as a men­tor in accel­er­a­tors and expan­sion pro­grams and as lec­tur­er at Uni­ver­si­ty. I love to learn and appre­ci­ate extra­or­di­nary expe­ri­ences as well as find­ing the extra­or­di­nary in every day. … Con­tin­ued
