Why did you want to be an entrepreneur?
I have always been passionate about solving complex problems and taking responsibility, but it all really started with a trip around the world, especially in India. My co-founder and I were fascinated how people integrated breathing exercises in their everyday routines which sparked our inspiration to bring this knowledge to the western world. Medical and scientific validation brought us to work together with renowned hospitals. Google equipped us with skills to lead a technology business, reach customers across borders and a unique network to tap into. So we began iBreve’s missionto make prevention and improving well-being easy.
What is the most important strategic decision you’ve made so far?
My most important decision was creating a born-global company. If you found a company like ours, you are international from day 1. This is great, but also challenging at the same time.
What is the best advice you’ve ever been given?
“You can achieve everything you set your mind to.”
And now what? What milestones do you want to achieve in the short term?
We are now looking for international strategic partners, both on medical and commercial site. So if you are interested in working with us, please reach out to us on our website!
