Christel Piron

Christel is a move-fast-and-break-things kind of woman, so we guess that’s where her love for startups – and Italian race cars – comes from. She would probably even sacrifice her own car if it could help a startup make it through troubling times, which is exactly the kind of person Christel is. The one who’ll go above and beyond to support the people around her. It’s the same care she puts into nurturing the ecosystem for startups. If Christel can give people a strong launchpad to become an entrepreneur, her job is done.

And to get her going, tell her something is impossible. She’ll do everything in her power to prove you wrong. Especially if you tell her unicorns aren’t real.
