      At mantro I am building startups from idea to scale. Creating and challenging new products and services is part of my daily business and is what drives and motivates me every day! Our company is a full-stack digital company builder. We've developed an innovative digitalization approach to create digital products in all industry sectors. Our model addresses all perspectives on digital challenges as we constantly combine business needs, user expectations and technical basics to an holistic approach. We are no consultancy! We take over responsibility and risk. Our own investment during the early stage enables us to create venture mature enough for our corporate partners to invest in, ultimately ending up in our ventures becoming the new digital units of our partners.

VISN serves corporates and coworking spaces across Europe with its cutting-edge technology. As a hardware-enabled SaaS solution provider, the core value lies in the algorithm and in making data tangible to the customers. I built the brand VISN from the first idea to a solution with a strong user experience (UX) based on customer requirements. I was also responsible for creating the product and acquired large international cooperations (e.g. Vodafone) as our customers. VISN is one of the Top10 PropTech startups in Europe and Top20 IoT startups worldwide in 2019. With agility and lean startup approach we achieved not only customer recognition but also won the Digital X Champions Award in 2019 and German Digital Award (in Digital Transformation, Innovation and AI) in 2018.
