The Creative Minds:
// What is your job at the 4GAMECHANGERS Festival?
I’m involved in all our sub-projects while keeping the bigger picture in focus. I manage the budget and personnel resources, and I’m deeply engaged in sponsor and partnership management, stage programming and marketing. Every now and then, I change course and think, 'Why should I care about what I said yesterday?'—though the team doesn’t always love that 😉

Let’s cross that bridge when we get there.
// Your coolest moment at the 4GAMECHANGERS Festival so far?
It’s hard to choose just one highlight: from incredible speakers and inspiring moments of hope during challenging times, to fantastic live acts and unforgettable parties. But above all, it’s the involvement of our Next Gen and the bright, excited eyes of young people standing on our stage that truly stands out.

Every festival is more than just a series of exciting moments; it’s an exhilarating experience.

The emotional highlights—like the powerful stories about human rights—always resonate with me and serve as a poignant reminder of why we do what we do ❤️
