Serial entrepreneur at the edge of art and technology. Founder & CEO of Artivive, mentor and keynote speaker — building, backing and telling the story of the creative economy.
Move to bring it alive
Latest, from LinkedIn
See all on LinkedIn →For over a decade I've built companies at the meeting point of art, technology and business — from an AR agency I founded and sold, to Artivive, now in the hands of 750,000 creators across 190 countries. Today I build, back and mentor the next wave of CultTech founders, and take that story to stages around the world.

The journey
so far.
THE FIRST EXIT
An AR agency, founded and sold.
My first venture: an augmented reality agency in Vienna creating campaigns for Volkswagen, Audi and others across 42 countries. I built it, exited it, and learned that the future belongs to experiences, not screens.
THE PLATFORM
Artivive is born.
I set out to democratize AR for the creative world: a platform where any artist can make a painting move, a poster speak, a wall breathe — no code required. The Canva for augmented reality.
SCALE
A global creative community.
Today 750,000 creatives in 190 countries build with Artivive, supported by teams across Vienna, the United States and Korea — and partners from the Albertina and Centre Pompidou to Harvard, MIT and Expo 2025 Osaka.
THE SERIAL FOUNDER
Beyond a single company.
I co-founded and sit on the board of Romania Connect, a bilateral business platform under the patronage of the Romanian Embassy in Vienna, advise Vienna Digital Lab on digital transformation for cultural institutions, and back early ideas through Blue42 Labs.
MENTOR & CONSULTANT
Backing what's next.
I serve on the advisory board of Harvard's Lemann Program on Creativity & Entrepreneurship, mentor founders through the MIT Arts Startup Program and the CultTech Accelerator, and consult startups and businesses building at the intersection of culture, technology and commerce.
THE STAGE
Telling the story, worldwide.
I speak and host workshops at international conferences such as CIMIx, mentor and partner at the CultTech Summit, and join the conversation at gatherings like SXSW and Expo 2025 Osaka — sharing what I've learned about creativity, AR and the creative economy with founders and institutions across Europe, the US and Asia.
What I'm building now
01
Artivive
As founder & CEO, scaling the creative platform that turns every artwork into a portal — AR for artists, museums and brands, without a single line of code.
02
Mentoring & Consulting
Advising startups and businesses in the CultTech space and beyond — from go-to-market and fundraising to scaling. Mentor at the MIT Arts Startup Program and the CultTech Accelerator; advisory board at Harvard's LPCE.
03
Building & Backing
Serial founder beyond Artivive: co-founder and board member of Romania Connect, advisor to Vienna Digital Lab, and an early backer of new ideas through Blue42 Labs.
04
Speaking & Stage
I speak and host workshops at international conferences — CIMIx and beyond — and take part in events like SXSW, the CultTech Summit and Expo 2025 Osaka, on creativity, AR and the future of the creative economy.
