Ricardo Theiner 🛶's Linkedin Analytics

Hi, my name is Ricardo Theiner. I was born and raised in Vienna, Austria, and I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. 👨‍💻 Having worked as one of the first hires for several start-up and scale-up companies in Austria, England, and the United States, I was responsible for Business Development, Sales, Key Account Management, and Operations Management. This experience provided me with early exposure to nurturing and scaling a business from the startup phase through growth to maturity. 💡 After helping other companies make their mark on the world and identifying a gap in the marketplace, I started my own company, offering property and hospitality management services to short-term rental and vacation rental operators. 🤩 In just four short years, I launched the company in three US cities, creating 65 jobs and generating 7-figures in annual revenue. 💰 In 2020, I successfully sold my business and continued consulting the new management until the end of 2021. 🚀 From the beginning of 2022 until July 2023 I helped Delivery Hero/ Foodora grow their partner portfolio as their Head of Sales, managing a team of 21 Sales professionals. ⚓️ Early 2023 I started my passion project "Captain Athletic Club" - combining two of my biggest interests: Sports and networking with other founders. We host Sports, Fitness and Wellness focused Events, to connect like-minded founders and help them have fun on the entrepreneurial journey while also staying fit & well. It's the club I wished existed, when I needed a strong founder community and more opportunities to be active. 🤖 In the late evenings I am also exploring the limitless possibilities of A.I. within a business context. Having completed four online certificates with the University of Pennsylvania, I am continuously looking to deepen my knowledge and stay at the forefront of advancements in this dynamic field. ... 📚 What I enjoy: Reading, listening to podcasts and constantly learning; hosting events; sports, fitness & wellness activities, family time. 🤓 What I read & learn about: Business; Leadership; Innovation; Technology; Artificial Intelligence, Trends; Self Improvement; Well-being. 👉 Interesting facts: I have lived and worked in four different countries - Austria, England, USA and Mexico. I‘m married to a Mexican-American who I met while playing in a charity soccer tournament in the US. We have two kids under 5 and we speak English, Spanish and German at home. I have travelled to 50+ cities in 17 countries. Created a board game, that I should launch one of these days.
