Sean Wilson

Builder, operator, and former international athlete - based in Germany, originally from New Zealand.

I help companies figure out how to get to market. Specializing in sales design and execution. Currently growing Yakoa, where we're turning brand IP infringement into licensing revenue for global enterprises.

Before tech, I spent nine years as a competitive trampoline gymnast representing New Zealand internationally - including against Olympic champions. That taught me more about discipline, feedback loops, and performing under pressure than a classroom ever could.

My career since has spanned new-build real estate, PropTech and now AI SaaS go-to-market. The thread through all of it: find the gap, create the demand, flog the thing.
