I am the Managing Partner and Founder at proChain Ventures, a US-based venture capital firm investing in teams and technologies that are transforming supply chains for good.

I focus on hard tech, deep tech, AI enabled solutions in B2B supply chain enterprise SaaS, supply chain mobility, circularity and decarbonization. I'm an infinitely curious explorer, human API, ESG & DEI leader, advocate, ambassador, innovator, conversationalist, outdoorsman, and adventurer. I like quotes and I like to share them. Some of my favorites... Matthew Henson - "There can be no conquest to the man who dwells in the narrow and small environment of a groveling life, and there can be no vision to the man the horizon of whose vision is limited by the bounds of self. But the great things of the world, the great accomplishments of the world, have been achieved by men who had high ideals and who have received great visions. The path is not easy, the climbing is rugged and hard, but the glory at the end is worthwhile." “The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.” - Jack London Ralph Waldo Emerson - "Freedom Lies in Being Bold" Saint Ignatius Loyola - “Go forth and set the world on fire” William Danforth - "I am on a voyage of discovery. I search for those of you who will go on a great adventure . . . if you are one of those audacious few willing to dare and then to share . . . then come with me." Mark Twain - "Good decisions come from experience, and experience comes from bad decisions." Peter Drucker - “Things not worth doing are not worth doing well.” Charlie Munger - “People calculate too much and think too little.” Mark Twain - “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” Myers-Briggs - ENTP
