About

At sweet sixteen, I traded textbooks for startup dreams, tasting success before facing my first failure. But my journey didn’t stop, I tried various industries from gambling, to travel and hospitality to healthcare. My biggest win yet is Kilo Health (Financial Times announced it in 2022 the 2nd fastest growing company in Europe). My saga continues, a perpetual dance of resilience and growth, more startups will come.

Beyond Work

My passion ignites with the creation of new startups each day. However, my family is still the most important thing to me. A relaxed lakeside weekend, enjoying the warmth of moments with my daughter and wife, is a treasure I won’t trade.

My two cents to the Kick Experience

As the Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer at Antler - the world's most active early-stage investor - I work with a team dedicated to enabling and investing in the world's most exceptional people building the defining companies of tomorrow. With over 1,000 investments made over the last five years, I am looking forward to sharing learnings from working with thousands of entrepreneurs across six continents.

Motivation

Now is a really good time to build a new company. There are so many tools at your disposal, so many ways to innovate, and so many ways to scale things. I will share some of those insights during the Kick program.

BEYOND WORK

Originally from France, I’m now based in Copenhagen since 2012 after living on 3 different continents. I am the father of 2 and the husband of Danish/Italian Wonderwoman. Living in a home that is a bit of a tower of Babel with 4 languages being spoken on a daily basis.
