My Story

I’ve been an entrepreneur since I was 17 and I’ve been building with AI since before it was mainstream. My PhD in Multi-Agent Systems at DFKI (2006) gave me a deep understanding of how AI systems work — the same principles that now power today’s agentic AI wave.

But I’m not an academic. Since 2006, I’ve been in the real world — co-founding technology companies, building AI-powered products, and coaching more than 600 teams — startups, SMBs, and corporations. I build AI solutions hands-on, and when I need specialized expertise, I bring in the right people from my network.

What I Do Today

I operate at the intersection of three worlds: AI/technology, product, and business. I call it the ‘magic triangle.’ I don’t just understand the tech — I know how to turn it into a product that scales into a sustainable business.

Today I build AI-powered software, run AI strategy workshops for management teams at all levels, and serve as a board member and business angel for tech companies. I also created the Business Model DNA (BMDNA) framework — a metrics-based approach to making business models measurable, optimizable, and investable.

Based in Malta, working with teams worldwide. When I’m not building or advising, you might find me reflecting on the fact that my first shipped software was a Commodore Amiga game in 1994 — 30 years later, I’m still building.

My Approach

The Magic Triangle: AI, Product & Business

Most advisors know tech OR business. I’ve spent 20+ years building companies at the intersection of all three.

AI without a product is research. A product without a business model doesn’t scale. A business model without the right technology can’t compete. I connect all three — and that’s where the real value is created.

Whether you’re a startup building your first AI-powered product, or a corporation transforming with AI, the magic triangle helps you make better decisions at the intersection of technology, product, and business.
