I'm a founder and entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience building technology companies from the ground up.
I partner with founders and investors who need senior, founder-level guidance to build, scale, and commercialize products. My focus is on turning technology into real businesses — from validating the first product to executing international expansion.
My approach is built on practice, not theory. I bring operator experience, not theoretical frameworks — real-world judgment and network gained by building and scaling companies at the intersection of product, engineering, and go-to-market.
My entrepreneurial journey began as a co-founder of Wheel Systems, where we built three distinct and differentiated security products: CERB, Lynx, and Fudo. Each product addressed a real market problem in a novel way. CERB was one of the first mobile one-time password (OTP) systems, well before the smartphone era. Lynx was the fastest SSL/TLS traffic decryption solution on the market.
Recognizing that Fudo had the strongest potential for global scale, we made a deliberate decision to focus exclusively on it and formed Fudo Security. From day one, the business was fully bootstrapped and largely profitable throughout its growth. We scaled the company to a multi-million-dollar annual run rate by building products customers were willing to pay for early and consistently.
Today, Fudo Security serves nearly 600 customers in more than 40 countries and works with 100+ partners worldwide. Its products are trusted by organizations such as Tesla, Yahoo, Orange, and Glock, as well as numerous financial institutions, public sector organizations, and multiple armed forces. The company has received 30+ industry awards for best products across multiple categories and has been recognized by leading analysts, including Gartner and KuppingerCole.
Outside of Fudo, I also built a software development company delivering complex, large-scale applications for well-known brands. This includes award-winning mobile banking applications for Eurobank (part of Société Générale), used by millions of users. I've also been involved in early-stage startups, including building a community platform that successfully raised a seed round.
After years of disciplined, profitable growth, we raised a $10 million Series A to accelerate Fudo's global expansion. Having scaled the company through multiple stages, I transitioned from my role as CEO to the board. Currently, I'm focused on advisory — working with founders and investors who value clear judgment, real-world experience, and pragmatic execution when the stakes are high.
Outside of work, I enjoy watching soccer, listening to classic rock, and playing the drums.
