Consulting

I freelance as a consultant on projects relating to entrepreneurship and innovation support. My expertise lies in designing entrepreneurship support in Finland and in emerging markets such as Sub-Saharan Africa.

Coaching

I coach pitching and facilitate co-creative workshops on product or business development. Besides directly serving corporations, I collaborate with entrepreneurship support organizations to train startups.

Research

As a Doctoral Researcher, I study the role of Startup Culture in the technology transition of entrepreneurship ecosystems in southern Africa. My research focuses on Windhoek and Lusaka.
