Bio

I am an entrepreneur, interested in politics, who starts, develops and runs companies with a strong technological base. Before establishing Be the Partner in 2015, I founded the digital diagnostic platform PIRCHE in 2008 and have since served as its CEO. In 2004, I was the co-founder of Arcway, the first spin-off from the Hasso-Plattner Institute in Potsdam and served as its chairman until it was sold in 2010. From 2006 - 2020, I was the business development advisor and legal representative for all clinical trials in Europe of Pluristem (NASDAQ:PSTI). In 1997, I co-founded the biopharmaceutical company NOXXON Pharma, serving as its CEO until 2006 when I exited the company. NOXXON would later have a successful initial public offering (EPA: ALNOX). In the nineties and early two thousands, I was a political leader für the Christian Democratic Union in the federal German states of Brandenburg and Berlin. From 1991 to 1999, I served as secretary general of the Brandenburg CDU and a member of the Brandenburg state parliament. From 2003 to 2005, I was vice chairman of the CDU in Berlin. Today, I volunteer in the implementation of campaign strategies and measures to increase the digital presence of grassroots organizations. In 1987, I received a Master of Arts degree from the Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich in History and Political Science. I then worked in Southern Germany as an assistant to the executive board of a consumer goods conglomerate in southern Germany and later the marketing and sales director of a subsidiary of the same conglomerate before moving to Berlin in 1990.
