On stage

A few seconds on stage say more than a thousand words.

More than a moderator.

Great moderation is more than reading a script.

It is understanding the room, the topic and the people on stage.

As a startup founder myself, I know what it means to pitch an idea, face tough questions and communicate something you truly believe in.

I bring that entrepreneurial perspective to the stage — combined with a background in sustainability and digital entrepreneurship.

I know both sides of the microphone.

I pitch startups. I moderate startup events. And I understand what makes both sides of the stage work.

As Co-Founder of RECEM, I regularly communicate complex ideas, pitch to different audiences and answer challenging questions.

As a moderator, I use that experience to create better conversations between founders, experts, speakers and audiences.
