Felix is the founder and CEO of Fairmondo, a German online-marketplace owned by its users. He holds degrees in political sciences, philosophy, economics, public policy, and administration. As an anti-corruption activist, he travelled widely through Africa where he saw how corruption deprives especially young people of life chances. For him, this experience highlighted the structural deficiencies of our economic and political systems. Later, he developed the idea of Fairmondo as a corruption-resistant, transparent, web-based cooperative that could serve as a model for other businesses.
