At Alkimi, we think about advertising differently, so we are building the world’s first decentralized ad exchange, where

- Users aren’t a product
- Publishers aren’t at the behest of Facebook and Google
- Advertisers can deliver their message with value

Using the principle of Generative Economics, the Alkimi Exchange will reward users, publishers and advertisers for rebuilding the intended value exchange of the Open Web.

Fewer ads, better user experience, increased engagement.

Bad advertising broke the Internet. Let's fix it with $ADS.

Vice President, Ecosystem Growth at alkimi 👨‍💻 Founder & Coach at howtobegincrypto.com 🚀 Blockchain and cryptocurrency enthusiast 🤓 Photography lover 📷

Hello and welcome to my profile! Thanks for stopping by. ✨ 

Here is the TL;DR: 

* a strong background in SaaS, presales, team management and leadership roles
* a genuine passion for all things innovation and tech
* self-taught blockchain and web3 enthusiast since 2017
* Founder of Aequitas Consulting where I educate people and businesses on the possibilities of web3
* "Learn. Apply. Teach. Repeat."

And for those who like a bit more detail: 

I'm originally from Germany, but have lived, studied and worked in Spain, the US, the UK and France over the past two decades. This leaves me fluent in German, English and French as well as with a high cultural awareness.

Over the past 12 years, I have specialised in both technical and very sales-oriented, cross-functional roles in the SaaS industry. My core strength is to be able to understand both the technical and the business aspects of a solution and to translate needs and requirements between various teams such as sales, marketing, development, legal or product in order to find the best solution. 

In addition to my experience in SaaS, I have also been educating myself about blockchain, web3 and AI since 2017. In 2021, I started www.howtobegincrypto.com and Aequitas Consulting as a side business to help educate people and businesses on the profound opportunities web3 has to offer today and in the years ahead. I do so using courses and 1-1 coaching, and by teaching a web3 section of a Masters Degree on Financial Education at the University of Lille, France.

My passion for web3 came in particularly handy in my most recent role with Alkimi Exchange, where I helped the team build out a blockchain-based advertising exchange solution and bring it into an existing industry that is worth hundreds of billions of dollars per year.

Last but not least, I strongly believe that learning and teaching is a never-ending journey and live by this mantra in my (volunteer) role as Chief of Staff at Web3 Doers, a community of technology enthusiasts that aim to stay at the forefront of technology.

Specialties: pre-sales, Solution Consulting, SaaS, web3, blockchain, crypto, project & team management, process optimisation, MEDDPICCC, strong language skills, ROI and business case presentations, very good communication skills, international experience.
