About

I love new ideas, passionate about converting ideas into enterprises. I have been a sports technology, media & clean tech entrepreneur from 2010 to 2022, building four startups SportsWave, goSporto, MeraNews & Reqip from scratch. 0 to 1 excites me. Fixated - almost paranoid about building a great culture in startups. Building a team, leading partnerships, new initiatives, marketing, and branding intrigues me. Always in search of new ideas, people & skills. Passionate about sports, clean energy & philosophy. I write about startups, branding & growth. Believe in "I know that I know nothing" - Socrates.
