CURRENT MISSION

Making the world a better place, one enterprise at a time.

ABOUT ME

I've lived for most of my life in Luxembourg (15 years). When I was 18 I moved to the UK to complete a degree in Business at the University of Bath.

In 2010 after a failed attempt developing a business idea in Warsaw, Poland, I co-founded Seeducation (www.seeducation.org - apologies for the crap website - a new one is in the works!). Seeducation was founded with the belief that many of todayʼs growing issues stem from the widely accepted paradigm that financial and social objectives are mutually exclusive; an organisation is either about making money or doing good for society, for-profit or not-for-profit. In other words, the traditional notion of profit has been construed by society in a purely financial sense, thus excluding all other measures of success.

Our vision is a world where profit carries a new definition, one that allows for financial return and social impact to be seen as two inclusive and equally compelling sources of motivation. We believe that this can be attained through developing an education system that inspires, empowers and supports individuals in the creation of the next generation of enterprises that follow this mindset.

As you've probably guessed, Seeducation takes up the vast majority of my time (although I'm also enrolled on a part-time law course). Apart from that I like to think I'm an easy going person who's just looking to broaden my horizons, meet new people and experience new things.

PHILOSOPHY

Continuously seeking better solutions.
