CEO, Co-founder at TrustLink.tech.
As a practical economist*(Master’s) and technologist (ML@ Stanford), I design and build market platforms, incentive programs and award winning loyalty programs (Lufthansa Aviation Blockchain Challenge) that elegantly solve the issue of customer acquisition.
I’ve worked both in startups (Sweetbridge, Kalgera) and enterprises (AirLiquide, PSEG), so I know both hustle and procedures. I built and managed a private company (Activia), so I have a solid commercial sense and know the difference between a good and a bad deal.
As a CEO, I identify people’s talents and natural abilities and assign tasks accordingly, so everyone works on a job they like and find exciting. This makes problems disappear and we always meet deadlines and budgets. (I have successfully managed up to 11 projects and 150-180 people at once)
