About

I’m Marius, I help frontier AI technologies drive measurable enterprise value inside large, global organizations. I’m part of the founding team at Viven, an enterprise GenAI startup led by three-time founder Ashutosh Garg (Bloomreach, Eightfold.ai). We build enterprise Digital Twins, and I lead 0→1 enterprise go-to-market, defining the ICP, shaping enterprise sales motions, and orchestrating complex deals from initial traction through close and adoption. Viven launched with $35M in seed funding from Khosla Ventures, Foundation Capital, and others. In parallel, I advise founders and investors on commercial diligence and enterprise adoption of emerging technologies. Previously, I worked in investing and management consulting, including working with Hasso Plattner during SAP’s cloud transition and consulting for global technology and private equity clients at BCG. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me cycling, learning Argentine tango, or trying to become a half-decent cook.
