Match-Maker Ventures, CEO
Speaker Bio
I am the Founder and CEO of Match-Maker Ventures (MMV). We specialize in scaling innovation for the global telecom and broader communications ecosystem by making the right match at the right time and staying on the field until results are realized. We build qualified pipeline, open senior doors, and co-sell to conversion so momentum translates into landed deals and repeatable expansion.
Proof of Execution
Since 2015, MMV has been active in 40+ countries, represents 14 portfolio companies from 12 countries, and has facilitated 100+ collaborations between technology companies and corporates, contributing to total deal volume exceeding USD 1bn. Our approach is underpinned by a trusted global network across operators, investors, and ecosystem partners.
Background
Before founding MMV, I served as a Principal in Arthur D. Little’s global telecom leadership team, delivering board-level advisory on growth, business model design, and complex transformation across multiple markets. I lecture at the Vienna University of Economics and Business and frequently chair and keynote at MWC, TM Forum DTW, and Network X, with work experience across 35+ markets.
