Coming up on Caffeine:
Operator’s Playbook with Carsten Grueber | Proudly Supported by Airwallex: Join us for an evening with Carsten Grueber - former operator at Facebook, Google, and TikTok, and now Co-Founder & CEO of Aether.
Carsten has navigated senior roles across global tech giants. In this session, he’ll share the lessons learned, what he’s carrying forward into his founder journey with Aether, and what he’s leaving behind.
Join us at The Commons, 1 Albert Street from 5.15pm
Everything is strictly run under Chatham House Rules.
Meet Carsten
Carsten Grueber is the Co-Founder and CEO of Aether, an AI-powered marketing platform transforming how enterprises create and share knowledge. Before Aether, he led TikTok in New Zealand, giving him a front row seat to how the biggest platforms in the world capture and convert audiences. Since launch, Aether has raised $3.8m, built an impressive client roster across NZ, Australia, and the US, and is tackling one of marketing’s biggest pain points: wasted time on manual, repetitive work.
Who it’s for
This event is designed for operators, founders, and leadership teams who want to hear first-hand what it takes to grow, adapt, and keep moving forward.

Operators playbook: An interview with Aether COO Ursula von Keisenberg - For all those who can’t make it to the event next week, I thought I’d put some of those key lessons into article form. Using insights from Aether COO Ursula Keisenberg, we’ll unpack what it takes for a company like Aether to be global from day one and what founders earlier in their journey can learn from Aether’s success.
