Esperienza lavorativa
Founder - CEO
Start-Up Business Consulting • Lavoratore autonomo
Dec 2025 - Present • 8 mos
As a Start-Up Business Consultant I offer hands-on finance and consulting support for startups and founders. I build integrated financial models that connect P&L, balance sheet and cash flow to give a clear picture of the business. I create pitch decks and teasers that present a company's story and numbers in a compelling way for investors. I put together solid business plans that founders can use for planning or fundraising. And I support founders throughout the fundraising process, from preparing materials to structuring the story for investors.
Finance Manager
Fundraising.com • Full time
Mar 2022 - Dec 2025 • 3 yrs 9 mos
Over the past few years I've focused on finance for venture capital funds. As Finance Manager at HV Capital (04/2023-04/2025), I managed governance and transparency of portfolio capitalization structures, built financial models supporting fundraising and investment decisions, and worked closely with finance, legal and investment teams on ownership reporting and transaction execution. I'm now continuing this path as Finance & Portfolio Manager at b2venture, where I oversee fund operations across the whole investment lifecycle, lead portfolio valuation and coordinate audit reviews, manage capital calls and fund reporting, and develop capitalization models that support investment and financing decisions. I enjoy bringing structure, transparency and reliable numbers to the VC world.
Head of Finance
Venture Backed • Full time
Aug 2018 - Mar 2022 • 3 yrs 7 mos
As Head of Finance, I owned monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reporting for executives, the advisory board, and investors. I led budgeting, forecasting, and liquidity management, and oversaw cash management and banking relationships. I coordinated the preparation of annual financial statements under german GAAP together with accounting, tax advisors, and compliance processes, and developed integrated financial planning models to support strategic business decisions. I established a KPI and controlling framework to improve business performance and reporting transparency, and led finance operations throughout Series A and Series A2 fundraising rounds.
