Philipp Hölke

Philipp is the founder of Kamino Corporation, an autonomous intelligence company building AI-native infrastructure for software and physical systems. Kamino's work focuses on the infrastructure required for autonomous systems that can operate, learn, and improve over time.

He is also Co-Founder & CEO of Mission Systems, which develops and deploys AI-native software and operational infrastructure for complex service businesses and industrial environments, including central kitchens, manufacturing, hospitality, and aviation.

Prior to this, he co-founded Mission Group, formerly Ebb & Flow Group, a leading Singapore hospitality group. As Group COO, he grew the business from a small independent venture into a group with over 300 employees and more than $40 million in annual revenue, giving Mission Systems a practical operating base rather than a purely theoretical view of enterprise AI.

Previously, Philipp was a Partner at Cerana Capital, a Singapore-based venture capital fund, where he spent seven years investing in and working with early-stage companies. He began his career at Goldman Sachs in London after studying computer science and management at UCL, where he graduated with First Class Honours.

Alongside his company work, Philipp works as an artist and musician. His artworks have been sold commercially to collectors in Singapore and New York, and exhibited in solo public-space exhibitions. His music extends the same practice into sound, with two albums released since 2015.

Across these fields, his work is organized around a single conviction: humans are made to create. Companies, code, restaurants, paintings, music, and institutions are not separate pursuits. They are different forms of the same act — turning ideas into structure, and structure into something real.
