I like to be & do

For more than 10 years I have been working on information systems design and serving as a „translator“ between the contracting party and the creator / architect formulating the information needs of an organization. I move along the border of two different worlds even now when I help to interpret and converge the views of companies and universities in their cooperation on applied ICT research and making use of its results on the market.

In recent years I have been mainly working on international research projects and on networking innovators. I help start-ups with their business plans and expats in creative professions. I like to collaborate on projects with international reach and with people who do not do their job just for money.

Following

Information is my stock and data and knowledge my material – particularly about the use of technology in business, education and organizing. I am doing my best in discovering the technology trends and viewing your goals in the context of relations and the environments where you work and live.

Analyzing & Discovering

I can understand your processes, data and organizational structures. Seeing an opportunity and a need for new services in time helped me to start the number of projects – the rise of e-commerce in the 1990’s, networking entrepreneurs with investors 10 years later, supporting highly skilled expats and defending free speech on the global BigTech platforms.

Connecting

I like to connect people and organizations from different backgrounds – businesses and university departments, entrepreneurs and investors, innovators of diverse professions, foreigners and locals or online & offline activities within marketing strategies.

Communicating & Teaching

I write, lecture, consult and coach – these are all just forms of communication and mutual learning. Over the last 15 years I have helped dozens of companies with their business plans (mainly in the ICT sector). I learned the most from my partners and clients.

Organizing

Over the past 20 years I have managed over 10 long-term projects (some of them international) and led the curation and organization of more than a hundred seminars, conferences, discussion tables and informal meetings.

I do not consider myself a specialist. I look at solving problems in context instead. The devil is in the detail. I do notice it.

My thematic focus could be summarized more formally as follows:

  • Information and communication technologies with a focus on internet and digital content
  • Strategies for innovative business, start-up coaching and mentoring
  • Models of cooperation between companies and universities
  • Funding of research & development with a focus on venture capital and international grant schemes
  • Conference curation and creating environment for networking professionals across disciplines
  • Expats (highly skilled foreigners) immigration and integration
  • Free speech on the global BigTech platforms

I am not good at drawing and maybe that’s why I am so fascinated by photography. As a single-lens reflex camera lover I fall under the charm of the time standing still in pictures. And as an enthusiastic amateur I am passionate about the white sport on courts. I can’t sing, but I am fond of dry red wine, smart women and blues.
