At the core of everything I do is a belief: the future should be inclusive, and AI should drive impact, not just innovation.
With two decades of experience at the intersection of business, tech, and strategy, I help organizations unlock growth, navigate transformation, and expand across borders. I specialize in turning bold ideas into sustainable business outcomes—with clarity, purpose, and momentum.
What I Do
I know how to spot a market opportunity and shape it into something meaningful. I’ve launched companies, grown brands, and helped teams turn ideas into traction. I’ve also worked side-by-side with clients as they navigated complex digital transformations—always with one foot in strategy and the other in technology.
Mentorship is something I hold close to my heart. I actively support high-achieving students and young professionals—because potential deserves nurturing, not waiting.
If you're building something bold—or navigating a space that feels uncertain—you're in the right place.
Ready to Collaborate?
I work with visionaries, disruptors, and decision-makers. If you're ready to think big and move fast—let's connect.
