About
As an experienced CEO and seasoned tech executive, I advise founders and board directors on scaling B2B SaaS platforms, scaling international GTM models, and building high value strategic alliances.
Over three decades in the tech sector, spanning roles as Country Manager and EMEA ISV Co-Sell Lead at Microsoft, Managing Director at Advania, and currently CEO of Nanitor, I bring a pragmatic, execution oriented experience to the boardroom, as well as very pragmatical approach from doing everything with basically no funding or resouces. My experience is ranges from high growth tech ventures (Sweeply, Justikal) to industry federations and sports leagues.
Where I can help:
- International Expansion & GTM Strategy: Scaling B2B tech platforms into new European and global markets.
- Hyper-Scaler Ecosystem Leverage: Structuring co-sell models, strategic partnerships, and channel strategies with major tech giants (Microsoft, AWS, Google).
- Founder Mentorship & Operational Rigor: Guiding executive teams through digital transformation, product-market positioning, and governance during growth stages.
Where my experience can make a difference:
- Mid-Stage European B2B SaaS Startups & Scale-ups (Series A to Series C)
- Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) Seeking %22Big Tech%22 Co-Sell Growth
- Cybersecurity, IT Infrastructure and ERP Companies
- Non-Tech Industry Companies Undergoing Digital Transformation
