About me
I am the COO of CellX Biosolutions, a Zurich-based startup providing bacterial solution for the cost-efficient treatment of chemical waste. Before co-founding CellX I spent the last 3 years coaching over 200 startups from ETH Zurich. Prior to that, I started my career in Brussels as a consultant on regulatory affairs and EU innovation grants. I then became the CFO and later deputy managing director of a Paris-based innovation institute offering entrepreneurship trainings, innovation consulting and tech transfer services.
