Golf eSim Club — Malta
A premium membership club built around Golfzon simulators and PuttView putting greens. Capex-heavy, so pre-selling founding memberships before committing to the venue.
…and more in the pipeline.
A wide arc, on purpose.
Discipline from the military. Communication from teaching. Deep operating experience in one of the most regulated industries on earth. And the ability to actually ship. Few founders have all four.
First job that mattered was one where nobody wanted to hear excuses. You show up, you hold your post, you hand it over clean. That instinct never left — it's how I run compliance teams and how I run product ops.
A regulated bank is a masterclass in how money, paperwork and accountability actually move. I left knowing that trust in finance is engineered, not assumed — a thing you can build, break, and rebuild.
Ten years explaining hard things to teenagers who did not want to be there. Best communication school on earth. If you cannot get a bored 15-year-old to follow a proof, you cannot brief a board on model risk either.
Joined when the whole team could fit in one room. Left with three departments I built from scratch and 900 people around them. Stoiximan and Betano became household names in the middle of that.
Running compliance across a European multi-brand operator taught me the real skill isn't policy — it's translating one framework into a dozen live markets without slowing the commercial engine.
Redesigned the compliance operations division across 6 licences while the parent was listed in New York. Every process had to survive both a regulator's audit and a public-market quarter.
Chief Risk & Compliance Officer now. And in parallel, building. The founder side of me was always there — it just needed the operator side to grow up first.
