BIO

I am an entrepreneur and public policy professional passionate about the way technology is going to transform governments and cities. Currently, as Co-Founder and CEO of Polyteia, we enable city leaders with data-empowered governance solutions. Our intelligence platform provides cities and towns the right data for their decision-making and operations. My previous work experience ranges from non-profit sector to public sector. I’ve worked as a project manager for the LEAD Academy, a Berlin based social-startup promoting leadership for the public good. As a policy advisor to the Christian-Democratic Union, Germany’s governing party, I was responsible for national-level policy affecting cities and municipalities in Germany. Moreover, I am a partner at Quinoa, a German social enterprise that focuses on offering an alternative educational model for children coming from disadvantaged backgrounds.
