Welcome to my online portfolio

For over two decades, I've been dedicated to advancing guest and visitor management into the digital era. My journey began with a leading company in access and revenue management for ski resorts, arenas, and visitor attractions. Since then, I've gained extensive experience with startups, including developing the first globally-operational mobile ticketing service and accreditation management systems based on Microsoft Dynamics. As a consultant, I've assisted sports clubs, leagues, and venues in implementing future-proof CRM and loyalty programs, as well as booking solutions.

In recent years, my focus has shifted to outdoor tourism and sports, collaborating with destinations and gear brands. Major sports events have also been a significant part of my portfolio.
