30 Years. Dozens of Ventures. One Mission: Put Skin in the Game.
We’ve built and scaled for 30+ years — now we help the next wave do it better. Across a dozen ventures, 2 exits (Rakuten, Lieferando), and $30M+ raised, we’ve led 150+ people and worn every hat: founder, operator, brand lead, strategist. SKIN STUDIOS is where all that experience comes to work for you. Strategy and brand, under one roof. Execution, not just advice. Experience in. Skin in.
