	Jana Thiel, Co-founder
	Jana supports the Halalati team mainly in PR and communications strategy. Jana pursues her doctoral studies at EPFL at the Chair of Entrepreneurship and Technology Commercialization. Her research focuses on cognitive and motivational aspects that influence the behaviors of nascent entrepreneurs.
