Story

I learned to code while in school, studied economics at university, and earned a doctorate in law along the way. I built messy, global companies at Rocket Internet. Today, I build focused, digital businesses designed to scale.

I like products that "can't work online" – and rebuild them from the customer's perspective.

Born to Polish and Slovak parents, raised in Hamburg, now based in Berlin. The Hanseatic north taught me understatement. Everything else I learned by taking things apart.
