Helle Priess
Founder & CEO

Hi! I'm Helle, the Founding Doer of Doerscircle. I founded Doerscircle because someone had to do it ;) For years I was frustrated, but also intrigued, by the huge gap, or disconnect, that I saw in the world. Cutting the story short here (check our Story above to read the longer version ;)) - I needed Doerscircle myself. That would have made my life so much easier, and the same thing I hear from all the fellow Independent Doers that I've met on my way so far. I'm a Doer by heart - I love getting things off the ground and be part of challenging the status quo and create positive changes. That's what we do at Doerscircle. We want to make your life easier - and put you in a position where you can focus on what you do best and enjoy the most - and leave the rest to us. How can we do that? By having an amazing team of very dedicated, passionate and smart people. I'm fortunate to head that. And when I'm not busy doing this? Then you'll probably find me tumbling around with my daughter; or doing any kind of sports as the sport junkie that I am.

Frank Maail
Head of Engagement & Community

Hi! I'm Frank, the Impatient Doer. I like to get things done and see results - fast… ;) That's probably why they call me the Impatient Doer. I believe I have the best role of all - heading our engagement & community activities. With everything I do, I put our members first! Why I joined the team? Simple, I always wanted to build a business (I owned and ran a successful event company during my time at university) but after graduation I chose the 'obvious' route of securing a corporate role. I finally started building my own business again when I met Helle who asked me to join the team. The idea of Doerscircle simply just made so much sense to me and answered lots of the questions and challenges that I had myself as an Independent Doer. So, the decision to join wasn't really difficult - and I haven't regretted it for a second ;)

Martin Breitenstein Hansen
Project Manager

Hi! I'm Martin, the Optimistic Doer. I like chasing opportunities and challenging the status quo wherever possible! I am a project manager here at Doerscircle and a big focus of mine is getting more solutions and benefits out to Independent Doers around the world through international expansion. I want Independent Doers to have better benefits and thereby better opportunities to pursue their dreams and create positive change and value. Simple as that. As someone who has worked in multiple startups and frequently organises networking events to meet like-minded people, I understand the importance of empowering and supporting Independent Doers. I joined Doerscircle with the goal to make life as an Independent Doer easier and to encourage more people to become Independent Doers, knowing that they have the right support to achieve their entrepreneurial dreams.

Carynn Tey
Head of Marketing & Communication

Hi! I'm Carynn, the Inspired Doer. I tell the stories of the 'whys' behind our work. I love connecting the dots and setting the scene for doers to find their motivation and inspiration. I believe we're all standing on the shoulders of giants and nothing great is ever achieved through a single person's effort, which is why I fell for the vision behind Doerscircle. Being independent doesn't mean being alone. There is strength in unity and as a community Independent Doers can achieve more than they would alone. When I'm not at work, you'll find me having a laugh at someone's expense, behind a camera lens, putting pen to paper or all three simultaneously.

Kadja Lorenz
Compliance Manager

Hi, I'm Kadja, the Diligent Doer. I'm working on all compliance related matters at Doerscircle. After having spent more than 10 years doing compliance in the Financial Sector I'm thrilled to have joined Doerscircle. I know that a lot of Independent Doers experience quite some obstacles on their journey and I'm very keen to help remove some of these obstacles - paving the way for all Independent Doers to achieve their ambitions. As the social person I am, it really motivates me to help Independent Doers succeed with their passion. I truly believe that when we help each other through networking and unite as a strong and powerful group, then we can accomplish great things. When I'm not working then I love doing all kinds of sports - and cooking ;)

Wong Joo Seng
Advisor

Hi! I'm Joo Seng, a VC, a Serial Tech Doer and proud Advisor to Doerscircle. I've been a strong supporter of Doerscircle since it was really just a powerpoint presentation and a vision. But what a great vision! Something that I completely buy into! I love being involved with this team and to be part of reshaping the world for Independent Doers - a world that I've been part of myself for the past 20 years. This is highly inspiring and never boring! When I'm not spending time with Doerscircle? Then I'm busy building and running Spark Systems as the Founder and CEO.
