About

I am a founder, entrepreneur, investor, and sports enthusiast. Previously as Co-Founder and Managing Director of the EarlyGame Group, the team and I built a leading media network and creative agency, reaching over 150 million viewers and readers each month as well as serving as strategic gaming agency for major global brands. After five years, I was ready for a new challenge, transitioned out of management and exited my startup to pursue fresh ideas and new ventures. In 2021 I was honored as Founder of the Year by the Magazine StartingUp. Beyond EarlyGame, I’ve leveraged my startup expertise as a venture investor, launched and advised selective companies in sports, football, and digital industries, and worked as a strategy consultant. At my core, I believe in independent thinking, taking risks, and bringing ideas to life. I’m passionate about building and scaling digital brands, platforms, and communities — both as a founder and advisor. My key areas of expertise include sports, digital media, gaming, sales, and real estate. Opinions on LinkedIn are my own.
