Building and Reflecting

This month has been all about building and iterating. I'm deep in the weeds of developing new features for my website, including the Monthly Willpower reports and streamlining my contact forms with automated workflows. **What I'm working on:** - Redesigning how I share monthly insights with the world - Building out automated calling systems that actually work - Experimenting with new ways to connect with people who want to chat about business or tech **Reflections:** The process of building in public has been eye-opening. Every feature teaches me something new, not just about code, but about what people actually need vs. what I think they need. It's humbling and exciting at the same time. Looking forward to see where this goes in the coming weeks.

Why The Willpower Report

Every week and month, I publish insights covering technology, business strategy, and financial markets—topics that challenge conventional thinking and explore what's next in our rapidly evolving landscape.

This platform serves as my way of organizing thoughts, sharing perspectives, and staying connected with a community of curious minds who are building, investing, and shaping the future. It's where analysis meets action, and where complex topics become accessible conversations.

Whether you're here for weekly insights, monthly deep dives, or to connect about advisory work—welcome to The Willpower Report.

Background

Global Foundation

My journey spans multiple continents and perspectives. From the University of St. Gallen's focus on Strategy and M&A, to founding a consultancy that reached 90k CHF in profit, to collaborating with Bain & Co., and eventually landing at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business—each experience shaped my understanding of global markets and technology.

The Build

After stints in Venture Capital at Cherry Ventures and multi-billion euro deals at BNP Paribas, I discovered my true passion: building. As the first commercial hire at telli (YC F24), I helped scale ARR from $150k to $800k in four months through AI-driven sales engines.

Focus

Current Work

Currently back at telli as Growth Associate for "Chapter 2," I'm focused on scaling AI-powered solutions in the sales and business development space.

I'm energized by the intersection of AI and commerce, and always open to conversations about scaling startups, emerging technologies, and the future of business operations.
