CoFounder and Board Member

Raised $140m in Funding | 2 exits | Serial Entrepreneur for 21 years | I love to identify and work on worthy problems with brilliant people | Dad to 2 Kids

👋 I’ve started and funded many businesses over the last 22 years and I find that I love doing this. 😀

The energy, enthusiasm, challenges, pitches, Funding, and the ups and downs, working on taking risks down, creating value, verifying the hypothesis as fast as possible, and building great teams with « people that want to do things. » 

I love learning new things, especially about technologies and innovations. Often seeking answers to good business problems solve: « Love the problem, not the solution! »

Most of the time, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with excellent people. People I admire and that I can learn from. People that are much smarter than me. People with integrity. (Yes, learning also the hard way with some exceptions of some rotten apples....🙈)

I’ve worked with world-class VC investors like NorthZone Ventures for 8 years after I founded Innotech Solar AS in 2008. For Innotech Solar alone, the funding was: €52M in equity, €25M in debt, and €13M in grants. 8 years of top management experience growing the company from my idea to 180 employees and €35M revenue 3 years after launch. It was an exciting journey and a hard battle! I learned a lot! 😀

These are the companies I am involved with at the moment:

Founder of LazeraH - producing energy with anti-matter (Einstein´s E=mc^2 converting mass to clean energy)
Founder and CFO of Nanize AS - the most slippery material in the world (kind of like Teflon - just much better)
Cofounder and Chairman of Drive365 – IT platform for modern work for 50-3,000 employee companies
Cofounder of Havguard - AI-powered disruptive underwater communications
CoFounder of Shama AI - AI-powered real-time detection of deep fake voice

I post typically weekly for insights from my startup journey and the real behind-the-scenes of starting up these companies.

I really look forward to engaging with interested founders, and investors, and exciting the people in my network.

Chief Executive Officer

Find Book Beauty

Find Book Beauty is a powerful booking engine helping customers find the best makeup, hair and beauty therapists in a location of their choice. Customers can filter by prices, reviews and more! 

The software enables beauty business to automate quoting, show live appointment availability, enforce cancellation policies, and generate leads 24/7 online. 

In many ways, the platform is similar to AirBNB where finding and booking beauty services is convenient and easy.

My role is to grow the lending book for Healthcare sector (e.g. Dentists, GPs, Specialists, pharmacists & childcare). I see what I do as more than just sales. I enjoy advising businesses on future strategy along with filling in the missing gap of how to use debt to scale a business.

Key highlights include:
•	Wrote $20 million in new lending within first 12 months
•	Built up a sales pipeline of $62 million within first 12 months 
•	Managed a $156million customer loan book 
•	Built in-depth network to generate medico leads
•	Developed and Managed a high performance team
•	Roll out a 6 week national broker training session to educate brokers on medico finance
•     Head up a national branding campaign  for sales development for ANZ’s Healthcare business

Senior Relationship Manager (Sales)

I was responsible for negotiating complex credit for businesses requiring 10 to 35 million of lending. I had a diverse client base with concentration in pubs and clubs, education and food and beverage businesses.

Senior Relationship Credit Manager

I was headhunted to move into this strategic growth oriented leadership and coaching role in a secondment capacity, based on my proven strengths in influencing positive change management, leading to highly constructive business development. In a nutshell, expansion and enhancement of what this division could offer and deliver to both current and prospective small business customers was my primary ambition.

This was spurred on by my overriding business objective of eliciting strong sales and revenue growth for ANZ. I therefore continually introduced customer-service-tailored business innovations that upped sales results along with team-wide confidence and capabilities. These included the construction and coaching of relationship management programs (particularly customer engagement) that were more reflective, reactive and downright effective.

My steady, hands-on leadership and coaching to develop a team of relationship management specialists, to cultivate self-driven and self-assessed change management activities, soon had the impact I’d hoped for. Sales and revenue targets continued to be exceeded, and the entire team felt better connected and united in its ambition of steering the right kind of strategic growth.

Area Manager 

Identified by my former employer as someone who could optimise relationship management activities including strategic growth with ANZ if I transferred my career there, I started out as an assistant manager and was senior-level manager within 12 months.

Above and beyond customer service including via never-before-considered business innovations to boost retention and subsequent sales and revenue, was what I stood for in this role. This included high risk client management, intelligent credit decisions, practices and protocol that made the overall service more proficient, transparent and cost-effective. 

I soon became the yardstick of best-practice strategic growth and relationship management. Very few customers within my portfolio were lost and/or left feeling dissatisfied. 

Furthermore, my leadership, coaching and moulding of business development driven infrastructure, including via cross-country workshops, produced the highest ever internal engagement results. The multi-site multicultural team was transformed into a single culture where optimal sales and revenue, founded on constructive relationship management, was what spurred them on.

Risk Management Specialist

PPB Advisory

First working here as a graduate analyst while completing my chartered accountant studies, it wasn’t long before I was recognised and appreciated for my ‘bigger picture’ perspective when analysing client portfolios. Here’s where I fine-tuned my business innovations oriented intellect, including my highly constructive relationship management, change management and business development capabilities.

While undertaking comprehensive sales and revenue influenced investigations, I developed an aptitude for digging deeper and negotiating further than was ever expected of me. My talent for exceeding financial goals and expectations showcased me as a fearless navigator of commercial markets and loopholes. I was an analyst that delivered data-validated recommendations for well-informed decision-making, including in relation to strategic growth. 

In addition to conducting analytical investigations, I also often coached and provided leadership to new team members. My in-built commitment to ongoing continuous improvements has always been multilateral, extending across multiple internal teams as well as multiple internal systems and practices.

Senior Analyst

Serial Entrepreneur | Personal Brand Expert | Investor

From experience, I know that…

Your personal brand should be bigger than your business. 

After ditching the corporate finance grind, I rerouted into marketing and started my personal branding agency.

Why?

Because, I saw what personal branding did for me. It gave me influence, a seat at the table, the stage at speaking events which turned into millions in revenue for my multiple businesses. 

So, I developed my own system to establish my personal brand in the online business world. I got from 0 – 7 figures in just under 2 years.  

And that’s how I became an expert in personal branding, content creation and LinkedIn growth, helping founders and serial entrepreneurs to get outstanding results. 

Now, I’m the go-to maven for personal branding, steering entrepreneurs to massive success. I’ve supported 50+ personal brands repositioning their messaging for success.

I’ve seen companies land $20 million+ in funding, attract top talent, feature on Forbes all through telling their story and sharing their thoughts. 

I started my podcast Innovative Minds where I interview the best minds around the world, who are influencers and have powerful personal brands.

Using this expertise, I get 3+ million post impressions a year, 250K on single posts, and 200-300 engagements per post on LinkedIn and speaker gigs at the biggest marketing events in Australia.

And on the side, I’m building a property empire in Bali. My personal brand spans and accelerates ventures. Yours could too.  

So, if you fancy going deeper into your personal branding journey, there’s a poolside spot with your name on it.

Remember, authenticity sells. 

Because, people buy from people they trust. It’s got to be all about you: your voice, your image and your values.

Nothing lights me up like seeing you, my client, win big with engagement, pitches, and deals.

Are you ready to be unforgettable?
