The founders building nature-first businesses and NGOs get the attention, funding, and momentum they deserve.

🦁 About Me

Berlin-born. Safari-trained. Biodiversity-obsessed.

I’ve lived in 6 countries, worked across e-commerce, mobility, hospitality, and NGOs and led a team through the chaos of COVID in tourism.

Quarter-life crisis hit. Eco-anxiety followed.

So I quit the corporate path and went all in on nature.

In 2025, I gave a TEDx talk on Impact Millionaires & how to become one at MIT in Boston.
In 2026? I want to help you grow your nature mission.
