Motivation
As a DTU censor and advisor to student start-ups, I’m committed to giving back to the next generation. I benefited from mentors who turned theory into practice; now I pay that forward by sharing hard-won lessons, opening industry networks, and giving clear, actionable feedback so students can move faster with fewer detours.
