I lead innovation and investment at 28DIGITAL, where our mission is to power Europe's leadership in digital and deep tech. My work spans public and private spheres — we spotlight Europe's most promising startups, founders, and teams through public initiatives, then build the bridge that connects them with private capital and growth opportunities.

At 28DIGITAL, I am spearheading the creation of a €100 million digital health fund and a technology transfer micro fund focused on deep tech developed across our network of 60 partner universities. I believe in building connective platforms where founders, researchers, corporations, and investors can co-create and deliver real impact together.

A central pillar of our work is talent. Through the EIT Digital Master School, we offer double-degree programs in Autonomous Systems & Intelligent Robots, Cloud & Network Infrastructure and HPC, Cyber Security, Data Science, Embedded Systems, Emotion Artificial Intelligence, Fintech, and Human-Computer Interaction & Design. These programs nurture Europe’s next generation of deep tech entrepreneurs — with around 40% of graduates founding a startup within two years — creating a powerful pipeline of talent that drives innovation from lab to market.

I am driven by the belief that when great people, capital, and purpose align, Europe can lead the next wave of digital transformation.
