About

An entrepreneur at heart with a passion for technology. Practically all my life I have been building businesses: from selling my sister’s perfumes when she was abroad studying at the age of 5 to customizing USB flash drives in high school to software sales during my studies.

After helping bootstrap the previous company to eight-digit ARR as CRO, I am now working on making companionship services for cultural activities or social life available to the silver society for improved quality of life through AI-powered TrustTech. I’m an active member of the Digital Intimacy Coalition’s Platform Ethics group, contributing to shared standards and responsible innovation.
