Entrepreneur, angel investor, and technology strategist with over 25 years of experience in

building, scaling — and deliberately discontinuing — technology initiatives with global

ambitions. Throughout his career, he has repeatedly made decisions involving pivots, exits,

and the termination of projects that failed to demonstrate genuine scalability potential.

He is a co-founder of Software Mind, where he spent over a decade contributing to the

company’s growth from an early-stage organization to an international scale. He exited the

company in 2014, gaining hands-on experience in recognizing when continued investment

no longer made business sense.

He joined Grape Up as an investor and strategic partner at the stage of a small, several-

person software house, playing a key role in transforming the company into a 200+ person

technology and consulting group, including Addepto.

Under his leadership, Grape Up actively supports and incubates AI- and data-driven

initiatives. A flagship example of this approach was the long-term collaboration with

Addepto, which culminated in 2025 with the sale of shares to KMS Technology, backed by

the private equity fund Sunstone Partners.

He is currently actively seeking new early-stage initiatives to support, with a strong focus on

the real scalability of business models in AI, cybersecurity, and medtech.
