The Resilient Entrepreneur

Growing a company in uncertain times is like running a marathon — it demands grit, strategy, and resilience. As a tech entrepreneur, active reserve officer, and father of three, I share practical insights and write about entrepreneurship, leadership, and crisis management. When I’m not solving problems, I recharge and find inspiration in the breathtaking mountains around Zermatt. Sign up to receive my articles by email every Friday - no paywall, no AI bullshit, no promos, just my thoughts in plain text.
