About
Building impactful companies is more than a passion. It's my purpose. As CEO and Founder of CoachHub, I'm on a mission to democratize coaching through the power of digital innovation and AI. We've raised over $350M from world-class investors like SoftBank Vision Fund 2, HSBC Innovation Banking, and Sofina, fueling our journey as the global leader in digital coaching. I have the privilege of leading a 400+ person team representing over 50 nationalities, united by a shared belief in unlocking human potential at scale, long-term re-shaping the future of work and leadership. Before CoachHub, I founded and built several ventures, including ExpertLead (Rocket Internet), MyParfum, and co-founded others like Exolos and Elite Startups.
