Lars Haerle
CFO/COO, Partner
What brought you to Redstone and when did you start?
Before joining Redstone, I was an investment banker in M&A for more than 20 years. Young startup companies are changing the world, and venture capital is a much better choice than M&A. The decisive factor for Redstone are the people and the culture you would like to work with. And I wanted to work with Samuli. In fact, the best idea I ever had.
What are your main responsibilities in the team?
I am the CFO and COO of the company. My responsibilities are to make Redstone smarter, more efficient, and forward-looking every day. I am grateful for having the best team for this. In addition, I also manage the Venture portfolio of the family office of Schwarzwälder Bote.
What innovation will change the future in a positive way?
Everything which has not been invented now but is already used in Star Trek (I would love to see the Warp Drive).
How do you relax/clear your mind?
My secret is a well-balanced combination of FSM: My lovely family, sports which I really enjoy, like golf and diving, and music, as I am a passionate jazz piano player.
Whats your favorite lifehack to share?
The other perspective may hold equal value to yours.
