About me
Hey there! Nice to meet you!
A few facts about me: Born & raised in Nuremberg, based in Berlin. I value honesty, authenticity and drive. There are two things I never cut back on: sleep & sport. Only when you are fit in body and mind can you give 100% for the long run.
When I am not working on growth & GTM stuff, I am into communication or psychology and like to work with my hands. Design and quality matter to me, at work and in private.
I like designing and optimising processes. (Efficiency is awesome, sorry not sorry 😃). And I love simplifying complex things and building solutions for real problems.

What founders say
“Before working with Valentin, I was completely restless. I couldn't sleep because we had no clear path to growth beyond building more features. In the last weeks, we gained structure, clarity, and a solid go-to-market strategy. We finally have a plan we're confident in. Plus: We've already started seeing first results.”
“With Valentin at our side, we have made measurable progress at Mable. Instead of empty promises, he delivers concrete results - professionally, structured and with drive. His mix of strategic advisory and operational support is a real added value for me because it allows me to focus on other important topics without worrying that things won't work out.”
“Working with Valentin is great. He helps me gain reach and visibility through founder marketing, and he helps us develop a demand and lead generation strategy and execute it in a data-driven way. He is not only a brilliant B2B marketer, but also an entrepreneur. Valentin's approach is unique. He is teaching me how to fish instead of just bringing me the fish.”
