Camplight

I’m part of the Partner Success team and my whole focus is getting our partners from 0 to 1.

But apart from that I’m co-creating a software cooperative that wants to evolve human collaboration while growing with 36% CAGR since 2012 🫶 

Partners vary from small startups to enterprise scale-ups. 

By collaborating on different camplight initiatives, I've gained expertise in the leadership of participatory, innovative, business-critical, and digital transformations, focusing on Fintech, Edutech, and Healthtech, among other industries.

I got the benefit of experiencing XXX k€/year budget responsibilities and multi-stakeholder collaborations.

I've participated in co-scaling camplight from 5 people to 21 and in most critical initiatives as a bootstrapped self-managing organization and community operating with X m€/year

>> I'm a fanatic about high-performing teams, not individuals.

What can I help you  with (through my Camplight & my fractional‑CTO practice)

> AI‑Powered Digital Transformation – From rapid GenAI prototypes to enterprise‑grade roll‑outs that move $1B bottom lines.

> Venture‑Building as a Service – Cross‑functional “camplight” squads that design, ship, and scale new products—fast.

> Fractional CTO Leadership – Strategic tech stewardship for startups and scale‑ups without the full‑time overhead.

> Mindful Team Coaching – Burnout‑proof operating systems and decision‑making models for boss‑less, high‑trust cultures.

How I Got Here (the short version)

I bootstrapped my first studio, building gamified products, then drove it into the ground through sheer hustle and zero alignment. The resulting burnout forced a hard reset: work had to become a path to enlightenment, not a treadmill.

That quest led me to cooperative ownership at Camplight, where we build tech the same way we live—collaboratively, transparently, and with skin in the game. I’ve since:

> Led multiple 7‑figure digital‑transformation programs in FinTech, EduTech & HealthTech.

> Embedded AI/ML solutions that quietly power nine‑digit revenues.

> Mentored dozens of product squads, turning chaotic sprints into enlightened shipping rituals.

Today I call myself a fractional CTO & digital shaman (IG: @the.digital.shaman)—equal parts architect, facilitator, and catalyst for change. 

If you’re ready to fuse technology with a more human way of working, let’s talk.

Leadership and Behavioural Trainer

With nearly two decades dedicated to the field of learning and leadership, I've witnessed various trends come and go. Throughout this journey, I've remained a passionate advocate for cultivating leadership skills as the cornerstone of a thriving organization.

What sets my approach apart is a departure from the transactional nature of traditional leadership development and management education. I firmly believe that better individuals—those who are more effective, self-aware, and courageous—make better leaders. It's not about academic credentials or an extensive toolbox; it's about personal growth and transformation.

These exceptional leaders are the driving force behind the evolution of an organization. They are the ones who bridge the gaps, accelerating the speed of communication, enhancing team engagement, fostering trust among colleagues, igniting creativity, and nurturing a culture of ownership. I've found that while efficiency initiatives and constant restructuring eventually yield diminishing returns, investing in leadership that ignites change and unleashes potential consistently leads to remarkable gains.

But the journey towards transformative leadership doesn't end here; it's an ongoing process that demands continuous learning, adaptation, and refinement. I am passionate about collaborating with companies that are ready to take the leap, challenge their managers and leaders to evolve in the best interests of the organization, and truly foster a collaborative culture.

Ready to unlock your organization's full potential? Let's embark on this transformative journey together. Reach out to me to start building a future where leadership and culture thrive.
