Hello World!

I’m Elke

I help startups and SMEs turn ideas into impact. Drawing on a strong track record, I bring together three essentials: funding to spark initiatives, operations to bring them to life, and data to steer them forward.

My path began in psychology, where I built a strong foundation in research, statistics, and human behavior. Adding a degree in software design expanded my technical perspective, while later management and economics courses sharpened my strategic and leadership skills.

Over the years, I have worked across academia, applied research, and startups — securing funding, leading projects, and translating data into actionable insights. Most recently, as a co-founder and head of operations, I combined fundraising, operations, and analytics to help drive innovation and growth.
