Camplight

I’m part of the Partner Success team and my whole focus is getting our partners from 0 to 1.

But apart from that I’m co-creating a software cooperative that wants to evolve human collaboration while growing with 36% CAGR since 2012 🫶 

Partners vary from small startups to enterprise scale-ups. 

By collaborating on different camplight initiatives, I've gained expertise in the leadership of participatory, innovative, business-critical, and digital transformations, focusing on Fintech, Edutech, and Healthtech, among other industries.

I got the benefit of experiencing XXX k€/year budget responsibilities and multi-stakeholder collaborations.

I've participated in co-scaling camplight from 5 people to 21 and in most critical initiatives as a bootstrapped self-managing organization and community operating with X m€/year

What can I help you  with (through my Camplight & my fractional‑CTO practice)

> AI‑Powered Digital Transformation – From rapid GenAI prototypes to enterprise‑grade roll‑outs that move $1B bottom lines.

> Venture‑Building as a Service – Cross‑functional “camplight” squads that design, ship, and scale new products—fast.

> Fractional CTO Leadership – Strategic tech stewardship for startups and scale‑ups without the full‑time overhead.

> Mindful Team Coaching – Burnout‑proof operating systems and decision‑making models for boss‑less, high‑trust cultures.

How I Got Here (the short version)

I bootstrapped my first studio, building gamified products, then drove it into the ground through sheer hustle and zero alignment. The resulting burnout forced a hard reset: work had to become a path to enlightenment, not a treadmill.

That quest led me to cooperative ownership at Camplight, where we build tech the same way we live—collaboratively, transparently, and with skin in the game. I’ve since:

> Led multiple 7‑figure digital‑transformation programs in FinTech, EduTech & HealthTech.

> Embedded AI/ML solutions that quietly power nine‑digit revenues.

> Mentored dozens of product squads, turning chaotic sprints into enlightened shipping rituals.

Today I call myself a fractional CTO & digital shaman (IG: @the.digital.shaman)—equal parts architect, facilitator, and catalyst for change. 

If you’re ready to fuse technology with a more human way of working, let’s talk.
