About
As a startup founder or CEO, or an SME, family run company you’re constantly walking the line between breakthroughs and breakdowns—pivoting after failed trials, chasing down funding, or scaling from lab bench to GMP manufacturing without losing momentum (or your mind). You don’t need a board member who’s just a name—you need a battle-tested ally. Someone who%27s earned their scars, opens the right doors, and shows up when it’s hard, not just when it’s easy.
That’s where I come in, across the board in life sciences, from agtech, to biotech.
With 15+ years in life sciences and deep tech, I’ve been in your shoes—from co-founding AiOme Systems to scout and transfer agtech, pharma and diagnostics, to leading global R&D at Bioseutica, where I spun out patents on tight budgets, while managing GMP facilities. Bringing in new advisors and assests for freshly spun out biotech at Healiva SA. At ADM, I directed biotech investments as part of a corporate ventures team; earlier at Nestlé and Novartis, I specialized in microbiome research and biomarker discovery—turning ideas into actual products, building labs from the scratch.
Founders like you don’t just want advice—you want access, insight, and action. I bring a global network and experience from Novartis, Nestlé, and ADM, with connections across science, regulation, and manufacturing to help you cross the chasm from discovery to commercialization.
Yes, I’ve run multi-site collaborations, secured IP, and overseen clinical trials—but my edge lies in the human side: like when I helped realign pipelines after a failed program, or backed unconventional family office projects where conviction mattered more than consensus. I understand the stakes, the late nights, the pivots—and I show up and work alongside you.
If your biotech, healthtech, or deep tech startup is in the life science sector or you are leveraging AI in drug discovery or bioinformatics in diagnostics, and you%27re looking for a board partner who turns setbacks into setups—let’s talk. Together, we can build something that matters.
