With the confidence of youth, I walked in and delivered a wonderful pitch and won the competition, and this is where my love\/hate relationship with entrepreneurship began. I spent the next decade learning first hand just how much an entrepreneur needs to know, just how tough the pressure can be, how lonely and frightening the journey can be\u2026 but also what an amazing journey it can be, how many fascinating people you meet along the way, and the unexpected opportunities that you find. After this rollercoaster, I realised that I was actually better at math than I was at being an entrepreneur, so I went back to finance and now I do my best to use my experience and the tools I have to support other entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n                        \n        <div class=\"mentor-sections md:mt-24 mt-16 grid md:grid-cols-2 grid-cols-1 gap-8\">\n        \n                                                \n                <div class=\"mentor-section  \">\n            \n                    <p class=\"md:text-2xl text-xl\">\n                        Branchenwissen                    <\/p>\n                    \n                    <p class=\"md:mt-4 mt-2 md:text-xl text-lg\">\n                        Lebensmittel, Gesundheitswesen, Fertigung, Einzelhandel                    <\/p>\n            \n                <\/div>\n            \n                                    \n                <div class=\"mentor-section  md:pt-0 pt-5 md:border-t-0 border-t-2 border-black\">\n            \n                    <p class=\"md:text-2xl text-xl\">\n                        Erfahren in                    <\/p>\n                    \n                    <p class=\"md:mt-4 mt-2 md:text-xl text-lg\">\n                        B2B &amp; B2C                    <\/p>\n            \n                <\/div>\n            \n                                    \n                <div class=\"mentor-section border-t-2 border-black pt-5 \">\n            \n                    <p class=\"md:text-2xl text-xl\">\n                        Gesch\u00e4ftskompetenz                    <\/p>\n                    \n                    <p class=\"md:mt-4 mt-2 md:text-xl text-lg\">\n                        Finanzen, Finanzierung, Strategie                    <\/p>\n            \n                <\/div>\n            \n                                    \n                <div class=\"mentor-section border-t-2 border-black pt-5 \">\n            \n                    <p class=\"md:text-2xl text-xl\">\n                        Vorige Unternehmen                    <\/p>\n                    \n                    <p class=\"md:mt-4 mt-2 md:text-xl text-lg\">\n                        Corporates: Sonae MC<br \/>\nStartups: Woodstock Laundry, McGrath Creative                    <\/p>\n            \n                <\/div>\n            \n                                            \n        <\/div>\n\t\n    <\/div>  \n\n    \n    <div class=\"border-t-2 border-black md:mt-24 mt-16 pt-6\">\n        <div class=\"flex justify-between text-xl\"><div class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/german-x.com\/de\/supporters\/mentoren\/wagner-mancini\/\"title=\"Wagner Mancini\">Previous Mentor<\/a><\/div><div class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/german-x.com\/de\/supporters\/mentoren\/waihiga-k-muturi\/\"title=\"Waihiga K.
