About

As a serial founder, I'm passionate about building and scaling innovative digital products and driving forward the #FreelanceRevolution in Germany and across Europe. I've had the exciting opportunity to launch ventures in everything from marketplaces and SaaS to e-commerce and physical goods. My sweet spot is developing AI-powered solutions that genuinely solve problems and deliver real value for digital companies and recruiting firms. Right now, I'm deeply involved in shaping the future of freelance work. I'm the Founder and CEO of 9am, an operating system that's making life easier for freelancers worldwide by helping them find quality jobs, manage admin, and streamline finances, all in one place. I also built CodeControl, a community of Europe's top tech talent connecting businesses of all sizes with skilled developers, designers, and product managers. I'm also helping to organize Europe's first annual freelance conference, Freelance Unlocked, in collaboration with Freelancermap and Uplink, amplifying the mission to advance the freelancer economy. My goal is always to cut through complexity and enable freelancers to thrive. I love finding ways to take care of the busywork, so they can dedicate more time to their actual craft and passion. It's all about making work more efficient and enjoyable!
