As CEO and Co-Founder of Mercanis, the Agentic AI Procurement Suite, I'm passionate about driving innovation in procurement and building scalable solutions with global impact. Before launching our current venture, I co-founded Scoutbee and helped grow it into a global leader in supplier scouting, serving clients like Siemens, Audi and Unilever, expanding across Europe and the U.S., and securing $76 million in funding. My academic background includes bachelor's and master's degrees in Accounting & Finance from the University of St. Gallen. From there, I started my career at Deloitte in Corporate Finance Advisory, followed by roles at Rocket Internet SE as Global Venture Development & Managing Director in Berlin and the Middle East. With over a decade of international experience across startups, procurement and leadership, I specialize in scaling teams, creating value-driven products, and shaping the future of supply chain technology.
