I earned my first money with…
playing tennis and stringing rackets for other players at the club.
If I wouldn’t be an investor I would be…
I would want to be a professional tennis player, and if this doesn’t work out I’d like to be researcher/mathematician.
I get annoyed when…
People keep making the same mistakes again and again or are not well prepared during meetings.
You might not believe it, but we…
are with the same company (sms.at) for 16 years and some of our first employees are still with the company! What a great team!!
My favourite movie is…
Jerry Maguire, some very cool notes.
