Hi! I'm Emil.

I currently serve as Chief Information Officer at a Shenzhen deeptech venture building advanced laser systems for battery, semiconductor, and mini/microLED industries.

I currently serve as Chief Information Officer at a Shenzhen deeptech venture building advanced laser systems for battery, semiconductor, and mini/microLED industries.

Before this I was an Entrepreneur in Residence at the Quantum Information department at SUSTech developing vibration energy harvesting technologies. I have been building VC funded ventures for 10 years. In 2010 I founded Groupon Belgium and after built similar companies in 10 different countries.

I’m excited about entrepreneurship in deeptech, education and sustainability.  I've founded 10 companies, exited 2, worked 6 years in deeptech, sold one Swedish education venture, and advise agri-tech venture Baneco.

I hold a MEng degree from Imperial College and an MBA from INSEAD. I speak fluent English, Swedish, German and Spanish, get by in Chinese and French, and speak basic Arabic.


I love to practice new skills, such as stand-up, improv, and programming. I don't know yet what I want to do when I grow up.
