About

With over a decade of experience in investment, private equity, and advisory services, I currently serve as Chief Executive Officer at SensorHubb, where we are redefining how enterprises leverage sensor data. Our platform specializes in transforming raw data from various sensors—environmental, motion, and equipment monitoring—into actionable intelligence, seamlessly integrating with ITSM, CMMS, and asset management systems. By focusing on eliminating false alarms, predicting equipment failures, and enabling workflow automation, we serve industries such as healthcare, education, food processing, and retail. As the Managing Partner of C&R Capital and Founder of CDK Ventures, I bring extensive expertise in start-up ventures and strategic investment, empowering technology companies to achieve sustainable growth. I am passionate about collaborating with platform partners, strategic investors, and industry operators to tackle complex challenges at the intersection of hardware, software, and data.
