I am Igor Ranc, and I founded Handpicked Berlin in May 2022. Since then, it has evolved, influenced and inspired me and others1, and helped me improve my curation skills. Next to Handpicked, I have loads of experience with events, projects and products and have worked in pretty much the whole spectrum of roles: starting in NGOs, moving to big corporate and finally ending up in a scale-up.
