Commercial thinking.
A systems mindset.

I work at the intersection of Business Development and Digital Business Operations. My experience spans international B2B relationships, commercial growth, market expansion, and the systems that support a growing business.

As founder of Eterik / Entradi Digital, I built a consumer business serving 20+ countries and worked across pricing, customer acquisition, supplier management, international fulfillment, and AI-powered workflows. I also negotiated direct commercial and shipping agreements with DHL and SMSA.

I hold a B.Sc. in Electrical & Electronics Engineering and am currently pursuing an MBA&E at HTW Berlin. I bring commercial judgment, technical thinking, and hands-on execution to opportunities in Business Development, Commercial Growth, Market Expansion, and Digital Business Operations.
