Background

About Thomas Leiber

I am an entrepreneur driven by a deep passion for innovation and a strong commitment to integrity. Guided by the motto "entrepreneur with innovation power and heart," I draw inspiration from Nikola Tesla's visionary ideals and strive to champion groundbreaking ideas that positively impact the world. My journey began with a rigorous academic pursuit, focusing on aerospace engineering at respected institutions like MIT and TU Berlin, eventually culminating in a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the Technical University of Graz. Combining my academic background with professional experience gained at McKinsey, I ventured into entrepreneurship, founding multiple companies. As the descendant of the inventor of ABS technology, I've inherited a knack for innovation, with 461 patents registered in my name. Drawing from this heritage, I blend my passion for innovation with my entrepreneurial spirit. At the core of my philosophy lies the belief in fair collaboration between inventors and corporations, fostering trust and cooperation for mutual progress. As a partner of a start-up accelerator, angel investor and mentor, I find fulfilment in guiding and supporting the next generation of innovators. Beyond business pursuits, I am an enthusiastic traveller, fluent in four languages, and passionate about exploring diverse cultures. Despite a busy schedule, my role as a caring parent to two children of Argentinian-German descent remains a cherished priority. As I continue to explore new avenues of innovation, I remain grounded in principles of integrity, fairness, trust, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
