About
Hi there, my name is Nik!
During the last years, I worked with globally leading companies on accelerating top-line growth and developing digital strategies at McKinsey.
Currently, I am pursuing my MBA at Berkeley Haas with a focus on strategy, entrepreneurship, and technology. Going forward, I want to work in venture capital or strategy for a consumer tech company.
Outside of work, you can find me watching soccer, eating burritos, listening to podcasts, or going for a run.
Feel free to connect with me for job opportunities, side projects, or a chat about anything else!
