Bio

Uwe has, is and will always be an entrepreneur in his heart. Coming from a family that owned a number of small businesses, he founded his first company when he was 18 and sold his 3rd company before he was 26. After completing his formal training in finance and management, he started to share his experiences by becoming a growth investor in innovative companies, the typical German “Mittelstand” that is the backbone of the economy. Uwe is renowned as the perfect sparring partner to bounce some ideas regarding strategy around as he has seen the “real market” in all its facets himself. Uwe serves on several boards of medtech and life science companies. Remembering basically all rock songs by heart, Uwe is frequently being asked at company outings to perform as singer and guitarist on demand. Being a strong supporter of Eintracht Frankfurt he does not necessarily agree on Germany’s top football club with his colleagues – but who does?
