Madeleine Scholl, CEO
I'm the founder and CEO of Cardeleine. After living and working in cities like New York, Los Angeles, etc. I saw firsthand how important first impressions are - and how outdated the process of exchanging business contacts still is.
Through years of international networking and building business relationships, I realized something was missing: a smarter, more sustainable way to connect. This is why I started Cardeleine - a digital tool that replaces paper business cards and makes it easy for people to connect and keep in touch.
Cardeleine reflects my belief that technology should simplify and enhance real human interaction. Today, we’re helping companies and individuals around the world network smarter - and more sustainably.
