I'm based out of Berlin and work for the Ethereum Foundation as a Project Manager. I also contribute to the project “Decentralised Decision-Making in DAOs: Learnings for Digital Democracy” at the University of Zurich.
Previously, I’ve worked as Governance Lead at Safe, the multisig project spun out of Gnosis, and at VitaDAO, one of the first DeSci DAOs. I have also collaborated with Colony, DAOstack's Genesis DAO, Bundesblock, and explored blockchain governance use cases in the context of international cooperation at the GIZ Blockchain Lab.
Whether you are a researcher, practitioner, user, policymaker, journalist or simply interested in a conversation, I would be glad to hear from you.
