15 years of IBD — my shitty story
Fifteen years, four countries, and more colonoscopies than I can count to get three letters: IBD. The clinical side belongs to the doctors. The life around it is mine.

I have spent fifteen years working across finance and operations in four countries. I started in corporate roles, moved into venture capital and then joined the startup world. Today I fix the practical problems that get in the way of running a company.
My default is to act. Commit and send it. Plans are useful, but they do not survive reality unchanged. The mountain does not care what you intended to do. Pick a line, start moving and deal with what is actually in front of you.
I do not wait for motivation. Discipline carries more weight. I show up, do the work and keep going when it stops being interesting. That is how families hold together, health gets managed and companies improve..
Becoming a father to twins and living with IBD made me protective of my time. I know what matters to me and I organise my life around it. Work gets my full attention, but it does not get first claim on my life.
