My journey that shaped ViableThings
In product innovation, speed, clarity, and team dynamics decide who wins. Yet many founders and teams get stuck: delays, prototypes testing the wrong assumptions, design details that get lost in production, and too many warranty issues that drain time, money, and trust. I know this, because I’ve lived it.
For 15+ years, I’ve been building ventures and bringing products to market. I co-founded four start-ups, raised funding, built IP portfolios, led design and engineering teams, and achieved exits. I’ve worked with corporates and scale-ups across Europe, the Middle East, and the US. Along the way, I’ve seen what works and what fails.
Some patterns never change:
It always takes longer and costs more than expected – unless you design and follow a process that anticipates obstacles and deals with uncertainty.
Collaboration between disciplines such as hardware, software, design, and marketing always creates some unwanted friction – unless you set up the right structure and culture.
Teams often build on assumptions instead of facts – unless you test early with users, listen hard, and dare to face the truth.
I founded ViableThings to help Start and Scale-Up founders avoid these traps, put these fundamentals in place, and turn these pitfalls into the greatest source of competitive advantage. Not as a distant consultant, but as a partner who has walked the founder’s path. A fractional CPO who brings structure to the process, ignites the creative spark, fuels the energy, and brings clarity in decision-making. I’ll make sure you get your product into the hands of users and onto the radar of investors.
Beyond work, I spend time with my family, mentor young entrepreneurs, and recharge through surfing and the outdoors. Because perspective often comes when you step away from the desk.
