Who is Berna
Builder of communities
Builder of communities
that actually matter.
Now based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, I've spent a decade building communities in Europe — from crisis-response organizations to the most exclusive founder networks on the continent. Now I'm doing it again, here.
Founding Board Member · NOVID20
Co-founded one of Europe's first COVID-19 contact tracing apps — built the organization from zero, shaped governance, partnerships, and direction during the pandemic.
Head Organizer · Entrepreneurship Avenue
Built Europe's largest student startup event series — connecting thousands of founders, investors, and operators across the continent.
Innovation Manager · weXelerate
One of Europe's leading startup hubs — drove corporate innovation programs, startup-corporate matchmaking, and ecosystem growth.
COO · EWOR
EWOR backs the top 0.1% of founders building €10B+ companies — with up to €500k and mentorship from unicorn-builders. As COO, I structured the organization and built a community unlike anything else: unicorn founders, serial entrepreneurs, exceptional investors. I ran the programming, curated the connections, and made the community worth belonging to.
Now · Fort Lauderdale
Building ZeroShot — and bringing the same community-building energy to South Florida. Different city, same intention.
