I am an entrepreneur and investor based in Munich. During my finance studies in the Netherlands, I founded my first AI company, “e-bot7,” in 2016. As the founder and CEO, I scaled the company to over 130 employees across five European offices (London, Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid, Munich) within five years.

 

We raised over $10 million and received more than 30 awards, including recognition from Forbes as one of Europe’s leading AI companies.

 

Five years after its founding, in 2021, the company was sold for $60 million to LivePerson Inc., a NASDAQ-listed company based in New York, following several years of generating millions in revenue. At LivePerson, I took on the role of Managing Director EMEA to lead and develop the European market.

 

After two years at LivePerson, I founded my second artificial intelligence company, “Vidlab7,” in 2023. Within just three months, we raised over $3.6 million from EQT Ventures, one of the world’s most renowned venture capital firms. At the end of 2024, I decided to step down from the company due to health reasons.

 

Today, I am a full-time investor, managing my family office, “LX Investment.” I focus on investing in early-stage startups, venture capital, real estate and private equity funds, while mentoring and coaching founders through various growth stages.

 

In addition to my professional activities, I am committed to sustainable initiatives, such as the AMES Foundation, which is dedicated to wildlife conservation in South Africa.

 

In 2020, I was honored to be included in Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Europe list, following my earlier recognition in the DACH Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2018.
