Sebastian mentors CTOs, supports leadership growth, and serves as a fractional CTO to help companies scale through his experience.

Sebastian's path also includes a tenure at Philipps & Byrne, where he conducted tech due diligences, supporting investors to make informed decisions.

Previously, Sebastian co-founded the Berlin-based finTech Kontist, where he demonstrated his leadership in scaling the team from 3 to over 200 employees and establishing the company as a major player in banking services.

While at BERGFÜRST, he was part of the initial team that bootstrapped the startup and navigated obtaining a banking license in a highly regulated market.

His role at studiVZ as a Senior Platform Engineer was marked by significant contributions to scaling Germany's largest social network, reaching over 5 million users.

Fluent in German, English, and Polish, with conversational skills in French and Spanish, Sebastian's ability to lead and inspire across cultures is exemplary.

No fluff. Just results.

This Coaching Is Not for Everyone.

What I believe...

  • Most CTOs don’t struggle with code — they struggle with influence
  • Burnout isn’t about working too much, it’s about working against your beliefs
  • Leadership is clarity under pressure

What this isn’t...

  • This isn’t therapy
  • This isn’t training
  • This isn’t a safe container

Why I Coach the Way I Do

My first boss bullied me. I swore I'd never feel powerless again.

I immigrated young, built and lost a startup, and then built again.

I coach CTOs because I’ve lived the chaos — and know how to lead through it.

Let’s talk. One call. Zero fluff.
