Toan Nguyen

Toan Nguyen has been described as a “super nerd” (Meedia), “wunderkind” (Handelsblatt), “magician” (RampStyle) and “rockstar of marketing” (W&V).

He started his career as an intern at Jung von Matt and rose to become the youngest equity partner in the agency’s history. During his time there, he founded several verticals such as JvM STARS, JvM NERD, ALFR3D, and co-founded Eintracht Spandau — a League of Legends and Baller League club with YouTube star Maximilian Knabe.

Nguyen has appeared four times on the “Top 40 under 40” lists (Capital, Horizont) and is one of the few Germans ever to have been appointed twice to the Cannes Lions jury. Today, he advises executive boards as a board member and senior advisor, while also acting as an investor in the longevity space and an upcoming healthspan podcaster.
