Back in 2008, I began my career with an apprenticeship as a mechanic, graduating with honors. After that, I pursued a high school diploma and later earned a bachelor’s degree in Management.

This foundation opened the door to my first role in marketing back in 2016. Almost six years ago, I assumed my first leadership position as the Head of a Sales Team, which paved the way for roles in Consulting within the E-Commerce and fashion sectors.

Over time, I took on a role of COO, scaling a nine-figure revenue group while diversifying operations into multiple new companies. While serving as COO, I began shifting my focus towards advising, sourcing and assessing investment opportunities, and actively supporting portfolio companies through board member roles.

This hands-on experience not only equipped me with the ability to solve complex mechanical challenges but also instilled a strong sense of discipline and problem-solving. Having already experienced what it meant to earn and manage real income, I was driven by a clear ambition to achieve success.
