ECONA is an entrepreneurial holding company based in Berlin, Germany. We buy, build or invest in promising companies, usually with a long-term perspective.

Pets Deli is a fast growing direct-to-consumer business. We are on a mission to improve the lives of pets and their owners by bringing human-grade, natural pet food directly to their doorstep. Together with ECONA AG we acquired Pets Deli in 2017 and implemented an extensive change program in the 18 months afterwards. Today we are able to grow again significantly, based on healthy margins and a profitable business model. Personally I have been supporting the company in the role of a Shareholder and Managing Director in the restructuring and re-organization phase. Since 2020 I transitioned into the Board and had the chance to watch PetsDeli‘s incredible growth from the sidelines.

In 2016 Jura Online has been successfully acquired by a German publishing house.
