I bridge the gap between startups, investors and corporates.

I’m a generalist who enjoys solving the messy problems that don't come with a manual. I build with AI, lead partnerships, and focus on making things work. Oh, and I mentor startups as a hobby.

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me experimenting in the kitchen, humming a tune, or behind a camera trying to capture stories that words can’t.
