Summary

From Axpo and ETH spin-offs to orchestrating data strategy for global payment systems, I’ve spent my career solving "impossible" technical challenges while building the teams that sustain them. I thrive where strategy meets execution.

My experience covers the full lifecycle of innovation: from patenting DLT applications and architecting robotic vision to navigating the rigorous compliance of the fintech sector. As the founder of Schenker Labs, I approach every partnership with an entrepreneurial mindset—open, respectful, and relentlessly focused on delivery.
