My passion is solving big problems with physical science. During my academic training and the first part of my career I was a practicing engineer driving R&D projects that combined physics, electrical engineering, computer science, and materials science. I then founded and ran my first start-up Kateeva, which is today a global leader in the OLED display manufacturing equipment space - if you have an iPhone or Galaxy cell phone, the display was probably made using Kateeva equipment. Currently I am building a new business in the climate space, while continuing to support Kateeva as an Adviser and Board Director and advising other start-ups.
