  • Co-Founder & CEO

    2012 - 2017

    SkyGiraffe was acquired by @ServiceNow in November 2017. Raised $10m in venture capital from investors including Microsoft Ventures, Trilogy Equity Partners, Group11 and angels. SkyGiraffe was an enterprise mobility platform that enabled companies to build beautiful native mobile apps that integrated with any corporate system without writing code. Slightly more specifically: SkyGiraffe was a middleware that connected to virtually any enterprise backend, standardized the data to our own proprietary metadata and then had a no-code app/workflow builder for native mobile & desktop web apps. Customers included: Starbucks, FedEx, UPS, McDonald's, PACCAR and Blackrock. Loved every minute of it! (in hindsight ;-))
