Known as Dana, I build ventures designed to be acquired: video games that provoke, cybersecurity solutions that scale, food brands that reshape markets. I operate at the intersection of European vision and Asian execution speed. Shanghai is my base. Spotting gaps, connecting dots, turning niches into assets… that’s the game.

Beyond ventures, I also dedicate myself to creative work that sits outside my commercial projects. It’s a space for expression, experimentation, and preservation, and a necessary counterbalance to the world of building, scaling, and acquisition.
