My Journey

Hi, I’m Christian.

ENTREPRENEUR · COACH · CONSULTANT

I have over 12 years of experience in the startup ecosystem, mainly in renewable energies and climate tech. I have worked across the entire startup value chain — from hosting startup competitions and accelerators to scouting and investing in startups. 

I have been the CMO of node.energy, co-founded the Startup Energy Transition Tech Festival and traveled the world as a digital nomad.

However, my journey wasn’t just about professional growth — different crises shaped my path and pushed me to ask essential questions of life — not only for myself, but also in a broader, systemic context:

  • What do I and my body need to thrive?

  • How can we build meaningful relationships that lead to mutual flourishing?

  • What can we contribute to the world that creates a positive impact on society and the planet?

  • How do we build and lead organizations that generate this impact?

As one result I founded the Pura Vida Retreat. A non-profit impact festival, that is exploring how we can align personal wellbeing with planetary regeneration. 

On this journey I learned that true entrepreneurial success requires alignment of mind, body and heart with one’s purpose. Influenced by Yoga, meditation (Buddhism & Zen traditions), Ayurveda, neuroscience, psychology, and the science of biochemistry, nutrition and fitness, I have built a unique coaching and training approach.
