After almost 25 years as an entrepreneur and co-founder of five companies - a unicorn and apps with millions of users - I decided to change my focus and advise other founders and leaders together with a team of experienced business leaders and specialists.
As an entrepreneur, it always made me happy to have an impact. Now, it makes me incredibly happy when I see how entrepreneurs become more comfortable and practical as a result of our collaboration.
