  • Hackathons & Business Development

    Joining the biggest crowdsourcing organization on realizing a new way of transportation with the Hyperloop. With over 800 teammembers from companies as Google, Tesla, Nest, Apple, the best student engineers and the inventor of the vacuum tube we believe that dreams can be made true without having a centralized business but a self-organizing swarm of talent who have one mission: To make Hyperloop a reality. My role will be supporting the event team and initiating more events like hackathons to gather the brightest minds and my experience as a co-creation facilitator to get the most out of short periods of physical collaboration time in pressure cooks and think-tanks.
