Description
I help researchers transform science into investable ventures.
At SnT, the University of Luxembourg’s research centre, I lead the Xplore Venture Programme, designed to turn deep tech research into successful spin-offs.
My work focuses on venture building as a way to tackle society’s most pressing challenges. I support researchers in:
Team building & leadership – guiding the transition from individual contributors to leaders of sustainable, high-performing teams.
Strategic alignment – helping teams define their vision and align around shared goals that extend beyond the lab.
Market validation – working with researchers to engage potential clients, validate their markets, refine their business models, and progress from idea to investable opportunity.
Pitching & public speaking – enabling founders to communicate complex science in ways that resonate with investors, partners, and the public.
Fundraising – preparing teams to raise the right capital at the right stage, from grants to seed funding and beyond.
My mission is simple: to empower researchers to bring their ideas out of the lab and into the world, creating ventures with both commercial impact and societal value.
