A geek who turns chaos into opportunity.

I built IncepTech from inception — as CTO, then CEO — into a €10M+ ARR digital consulting powerhouse serving Fortune 100 clients, and led it to its acquisition by McKinsey & Company. Today I'm disrupting EnergyTech as Founding MD of ARTEMIS (an ALTEO company), and building an AI-native technology studio shipping enterprise-grade, EU-sovereign AI products.

Before that I led digital transformation at McKinsey & Company for 20+ Fortune 100 clients, and architected HBO's global streaming platform — HBO GO, live in 15+ countries in the pre-Netflix era. Nearly two decades in, I still thrive on turning chaos into opportunity and navigating what comes next.

“Technology is the beacon of human ambition, the vanguard of progress, and the catalyst for unlocking our full potential.

I'm a techno-optimist — the creed I build and live by:

  • Technology is a lever on the world — the way to make more with less.
  • Everything good is downstream of growth.
  • Intelligence is the ultimate engine of progress.
  • Ambition, persistence, relentlessness — strength.

It's time to build. in the spirit of the Techno-Optimist Manifesto
