About

I bring a diverse background in business development, advisory, and finance, with experience spanning startups and Fortune 1000 companies. My unique strength lies in relentless execution—driving results by effectively coordinating resources, leveraging all available tools, and aligning diverse teams to achieve strategic objectives. From building the go-to-market strategy at AI.Reverie (acquired by Meta), to advising pre-IPO and public management teams at ICR, and analyzing companies as a sell-side and credit analyst at leading Wall Street firms, I’ve gained a deep understanding of what drives success for both early-stage and mature tech and telecom companies.
