I'm a serial entrepreneur with a strong focus on technology marketing while being consumer oriented.
I walk on the edge of innovation in the mobile, wireless, consumer electronics, web2, web3d and gaming markets, and leverage on the latest trends to innovate.
Occasionally I'm happy to work as a consultant for VCs during due-diligence phases as a technology expert and market specialist.
When a nice opportunity arise, I'm happy to invest a bit of time and money in cool new projects.
