I am Raphael Vogler, a mechanical engineer and industrial designer with a profound passion for sustainable and circular product development. With degrees from the University of Stuttgart and TU Dresden, I bring a powerful blend of technical expertise and creative vision. My extensive knowledge of the circular economy positions me to contribute significantly to this essential aspect of our future.

As a co-founder and CTO of Patron, I have not only witnessed the transformative power of innovation firsthand, but also gained comprehensive hands-on experience in implementing sustainability management strategies across all business functions. Our initiative has grown into the largest cleanup movement in the Alpine region, with up to 50,000 participants, funded by the sale of innovative, regional, and sustainable products. This experience has shown me that it is possible to overcome economic barriers through rethinking and actively implementing the circular economy.

My approach integrates planet-centric design with full lifecycle consideration, creating environmentally responsible solutions that drive business growth and innovation. In the green tech sector, I create solutions that are functional, profitable, and purposeful. I leverage artificial intelligence and digital twins to develop sustainable and efficient systems, contributing to a more sustainable future.

My startup experience has given me a comprehensive overview of sustainability challenges across various business functions. I'm ready to apply my skills in sustainability management and circular economy implementation to make a meaningful impact.

Let's create something extraordinary!
