Manager at Bain & Company with a strong technical background and track record of managing teams and leveraging analytics, decision modeling, and strategy across private equity and corporate strategy engagements to influence stakeholders. My work centers on building rigorous quantitative models and analytical frameworks to support high-stakes business decisions, including investment diligence, value creation planning, and operating model design. I'm most energized by problems that require deep technical understanding, cross-functional effort, and translating complexity into clear decision support for senior leaders. Before Bain, I earned my Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at MIT, where my research combined experimental and computational methods to develop designer porous carbon electrodes for next-generation energy storage technologies.
