As the Founder and CEO of GoChip Pet Technology, I’m on a mission to revolutionize companion animal management and safety in urban environments. My passion lies in creating innovative solutions that enhance the well-being of companion animals their guardians.

With over a decade of experience in marketing, entrepreneurship, and international relations, I bring a unique perspective and robust network to the emerging animal tech sector. My journey is fueled by a vision to launch and scale pet tech products that make a tangible difference in the lives of animals their guardians and the communities in which they live.

I hold an Oxford Blockchain Certification and have previously held leadership roles at Velas AG, and DACSEE, and was a co-founder of CanCham PRD. These experiences equipped me to build and launch GoChip, a cutting-edge platform that provides digital identities and records for animals. Our patent-pending technology not only creates the world’s first unified digital ID for animals but also allows for direct interaction with an animal’s microchip via a smartphone—an industry first.

At GoChip, we collaborate with all stakeholders in an animals life, from  veterinarians, shelters, and local governments to e-commerce platforms, insurance providers and NGOs promote animal welfare and responsible guardianship. Our goal is to reimagine the relationship between people, animals, and cities, creating a safer and more connected world for all.

If you share my passion for animal tech or are interested in exploring partnerships, let’s connect.
