Hi there, I’m Valerie 👋🏻

I’m a founder and a passionate community builder. More below.

I combine deep expertise on the commercial side of consumer tech, media/content, B2B, and SaaS businesses with my experience building companies.

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

As an advisor and interim task force, I support early-stage startups in their GTM, brand, community & growth efforts.

In my previous role as Chief Revenue Officer at Opinary, a Berlin-based media 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.

You can get to know me deeper on my Bento, or on Twitter and Linkedin where I share daily thoughts and snippets.
