Hi! I am a Founder of the Open Innovation Studio, which has the mission to drive sustainability and profitability of businesses through collaboration. I am helping corporations and startups connect, integrate, and innovate together. Since I have been on both sides, I know the path towards successful cooperation. My 15 years work experience includes:
-
3 startups, one of which became a unicorn
-
large enterprises like an international airport and a stadium hosting Euro football championship
-
integrations with duty-free operators, delivery companies, an airport
-
partnerships with airlines, tour operators, fashion brands, web3 companies

I believe in immersive innovation and think that there are so many opportunities for established companies and young startups to collaborate together and improve user experiences!
