Connecting the Dots
Joining the Elements

My strength lies in making the complex understandable. And in connecting technology with application.

I help businesses, brands, and teams navigate the challenges of technology, innovation, storytelling, and human behavior. With a background in product and business development, strategic marketing, and communication, I translate complexity into clarity and create traction around ideas that matter.

Colleagues and clients often describe me as a lateral thinker, a curious and collaborative partner who connects dots across disciplines; a creative problem-solver who sees the system behind the surface. I bring energy and insight to environments that benefit from reframing, simplification, and strategic focus.

My work focuses on:

Business development & solution ideation
Uncovering underlying patterns, untapped potential, and purposeful direction.

Brand positioning & strategic storytelling
Translating technology and values into compelling, human-centered stories.

Innovation & ethics
Exploring how emerging tools like AI can be used with integrity, creativity, and societal awareness.

I thrive in roles that combine autonomy, exploration, and impact; where new questions are welcomed, and complexity isn’t feared. This enables me to guide organizations not just to what’s next, but to what’s right.

At my core, I am a creative application-driven solutions architect and marketing strategist.

The Extrapreneur

As an Extrapreneur, I operate at the intersection of collaboration and independence, seamlessly integrating into projects while maintaining a strategic professional distance.

My role is that of an external colleague: embedded within teams and organizations, yet with the clarity and objectivity that comes from being an outsider.

I am not merely a temporary advisor or consultant, but a participating partner offering frameworks, strategies, and narratives that continue to evolve within an organization long after a collaboration ends.

The Extra Words

The true shape of company culture extends far beyond formal structures and job descriptions. The unspoken rules, coffee break conversations, and silent leadership; informal relationships at work are the real drivers of success and retention.
Why celebrate dubious achievements while ignoring fundamental flaws, misconceptions or marketing spin? The reasons go deeper than politeness or professional courtesy. The cost of silence is always higher than the discomfort of truth. The real question isn’t whether your industry has uncomfortable realities. It’s whether you’re brave enough to talk about them before they become tomorrow’s headlines.
The EU AI Act marks a defining moment in global tech governance. Not as a bureaucratic obstacle, but as a bold ethical stance. As AI systems become increasingly influential in shaping societies, the European Union has taken a values-first approach; prioritising transparency, accountability, and human rights over unchecked innovation. This article explores how the Act reframes regulation as a democratic safeguard, challenges the economic status quo of algorithmic power, and positions Europe’s framework as a blueprint for responsible AI worldwide. In doing so, it raises an urgent question: not whether we should regulate AI, but whether we can afford not to.
Human Debt in Corporate Life
Scaling up a business shouldn’t mean scaling down humanity. Yet too often, that's exactly what happens. In the race for efficiency, we optimise systems while quietly accumulating "human debt"; the hidden cost of neglecting empathy, ethics, and neuro-inclusion in corporate life. This article looks at the real consequences of misaligned onboarding, perverse incentive structures, and cultures that reward conformity over contribution. And it makes the case for a different kind of growth: one that treats people not as resources to manage, but as potential to unlock.

Personal Passion

Who I am and what I do is very much intertwined. My professional affinity is rooted in my personal passion. Technology, design, community, and storytelling in the broadest sense are at the heart of my interests. My family and friends come first. Social cohesion and societal engagement are important to me. Human nature and business behaviour, and the interaction between those, trigger my curiosity. 

People

I support local activities and initiatives that promote social cohesion and generally make our world a better place: neighbourhood watch, homeowners association board, sportsclub co-founder, Red Cross collector, Innovation Café supporter, park development council group member, neighbourhood society founder.

Purpose

This is where I find purpose – partly professional, partly personal: setting up an experience center, moderating and speaking at trade events, mentoring start-ups, initiating new companies and pushing innovation, trade association board membership, online focus group participation.

Passion

The things that make me happy, that drive me, that sustain me, are mostly found in art, design, and culture: music and audio, film and photography, reading and travelling. I love family time and outdoor recreation, I write short stories, go to concerts and performances, run software beta tests and test audio equipment.
