I develop companies across international business, digital marketing, and tech — and share openly about what that actually looks like.

The path · scroll the chapters

2004–2009

Starting out

IT telesales, an advertising agency desk, first digital ventures — sold, sold early, or shut down. Learning by doing, failing fast.

2010–2013

A live entertainment group. Sold-out concerts, tours across Europe, a major festival, artist production. Forbes at 23.

2013–2015

Lost everything. Bankruptcy, frozen accounts, health crisis. A car for a home. Kept moving.

2016–2019

Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley, Stockholm School of Economics. An international marketing agency. Silicon Valley accelerators.

2020 — present

Y·US Ventures. Bridgit, launching in San Francisco and Los Angeles. The Backstage — the memoir about all of the above — out on Amazon.
