I am CEO of World chess, the company that runs chessarena.com, opens chess clubs with a bar (please contact me if you’d like to open one in your city), manufactures the official chess sets used in the championship matches, and does many more things that make chess cool (and it’s already cool).

I am a professional economist by training and combine both economics, marketing and design sensibility.

Also interested in: city-centric souvenirs (like the literature maps I developed with my creative partners), event merchandising (chess got Cannes Lions for it), communication, niche financial indicators (how cool would it be to have an index that tracks companies whose CEOs play chess regularly).

Where AM I?

Currently, I live with my family in Berlin, Germany (where World Chess has an HQ) and often stay in London .
