ABOUT
Christian loves to start companies from scratch. He is strategically tackling problems of our everyday life, aiming to use natural and human resources more efficiently. His focus is on leveraging data-driven approaches and on creating beautiful yet simple products.
Being skilled in law, business administration and IT, Christian combines entrepreneurial thinking with technological approaches. He is deeply rooted in the Legal Tech industry. Besides, he enjoys discovering different disciplines and gaining expertise in various industries. He is always looking for the underlying patterns in one industry and transfers this knowledge to other markets, connecting people and ideas. Out of this conviction and expertise, Christian is advising cross-industry decision-makers in German mittelstand and DAX companies to become more efficient, compliant and effective by smart data and process automation.
He is a partner and founding member of ten., the leading b2b Legal Tech venture builder, and works in senior positions in the portfolio companies. Christian is Co-Initiator and Head of Frankfurt Forward, a 1:1 matchmaking initiative connecting established industry players with young startups. He is also leading a management consultancy, an independent European venture builder, tackling fundamental resource problems. Previously, he was Director of Investment at the FiZ Frankfurt Biotechnology Innovation Center and Management Consultant in the field of competitive intelligence. He is currently based in Frankfurt am Main.
Driven by his entrepreneurial spirit, Christian is also a mentor and investor. He has privately invested in data-driven companies tackling the inefficient use of resources, particularly shaping the Health and Food Tech industry. Just as important as the startup’s industry focus are the company’s values. Loyalty, hands-on mentality, as well as open direct communication are key to Christian.
Moreover, he is a member of several supervisory and advisory boards, think tanks and regional initiatives. He also co-hosts the Venture Capital Forum that brings together the foremost investors, founders, and media representatives and is an alumnus of the Global Shapers of the World Economic Forum.
