Driven by Passion
‍I am one of the founders of and Global CEO at IEG Investment Banking Group with over 30 years of experience as a Tech Investment Banker, Entrepreneur and Investor. Although having been dealing with the most complex technological transitions across each key industry since the introduction of the internet protocol, my passion lies with digital healthcare for aging societies, the blockchain protocol to revolutionise the transfer of values, services & assets, and robotics (IoT) as the revolution beyond AI. I love to work with entrepreneurs, founders, senior managers and/or brilliant minds to tackle and solve complex problems to build profitable, sustainable and growing companies with impact.

‍M&A - Means for Accelerated Growth and Impact
‍With high volatilities and capital getting attracted by size, I see M&A as the key means for accelerated growth. Consequently, combining innovative technologies (hardware, software, data, protocols, processing) with adaptive business models will be the only viable answer to the four large global challenges going forward: a. Digitisation, b. Climate change, c. Geopolitical conflicts, and d. Demographic change.

‍Personal Note
‍I am a passionate husband, father, friends, golfer, gravel biker, winemaker novice and Portugal & Baltic Sea fan.
