Venture capital investor
"I've been in the tech business my whole life and have a strong focus on human capital. For what reason? My many years of experience in building medium and large enterprises have led me to a clear perception that business is about people more than it is about money. That's exactly why I strive to support entrepreneurs in growing ambitious projects. "
