Hi, I'm Valerie 👋🏻 I‘m a founder & community builder.

I combine deep expertise on the commercial side of consumer tech, media/content, B2B, and SaaS businesses with my experience building companies. My core focus lies on taking new products and markets from 0-1, developing B2C(2B) organic growth models, establishing initial brand & product positioning, go-to-market strategies and building a passionate community.

I co-founded Remi (acquired by Range), a culture-building platform for remote & distributed teams, and was part of the founding team at Bento (acquired by Linktree), a tool that enables anyone to create rich and beautiful personal pages.

Currently, I serve as Community Lead at Linktree as well as advisor to early-stage startups supporting them in their GTM, brand, community & growth efforts. I love working together with teams that have strong product & design sense, helping them form their vision & story and sharing it with the world.

In my previous role as Chief Revenue Officer at Opinary, a Berlin-based ad tech startup, I spearheaded sales and marketing, driving the company's expansion across DACH, UK, and US markets. I also contributed to the early growth of Twitter in Europe, focusing on the expansion of German and emerging markets.

I very much believe in the magic combination of 3 elements to drive customer & brand success:

🌟 Share your story: Dream big, be authentic, opinionated, and make people feel something
💜 Build community: Your customer is your most important team member - take them along for the ride
🧙🏼 Surprise & delight: Show you care & deliver an outstanding customer experience
