After my studies at Vienna University I started to work within a cabinet of Austrian Federal Ministers where mainly the interaction between administration and politics in the fields of taxes, energy, environmental protection was my key responsibility. After this professional experience I changed into a private company where a massive restructuring & change management process has to be established, which was successfully achieved by reaching the area of profitability within less than 2 years after several years of losses. My last 11 years I spent as CEO of a stock listed technology company, where also the expansion into new markets and the establishing of a new business development strategy have been my key targets. There I reached within this 11 years an increase in revenues by about 250% with app. 100 employees acting in Europe, Asia and US. Since 2013 I am now one of the owners of a brand new index-business for smart Beta indices, which are offered to the financial industry since 2013. Together with the founder of the company, who is the CEO and CTO of the company, I am responsible for the establishing of relationships to financial institutions worldwide.
