From Dream
to Drive

At 14, I took my first steps into entrepreneurship. What started with a passion for digital media has grown into a portfolio of successful companies. Now I share my knowledge and experience to help other entrepreneurs move forward.

From digital innovation to sustainable energy, and from luxury services to hospitable hotels – no challenge is too big for me. In every project, I look for new opportunities and possibilities. Because standing still? That’s not in my dictionary.
