About

Midway through my undergrad in Architecture, I realized how my passion for 'building' had more to do with business than bridges. My career's been non- linear in the most exciting way ever since! Over the last 5 years, I scaled a Forbes startup 5x, overseeing International expansion in competitive markets (UK, EMEA, Middle East) and leading the company's biggest Seed funding round, liaising with VCs in America and Singapore. Post my MBA at the Cambridge University, Judge Business School, I honed in on my passion in Fintech and am currently managing a £25M account and Sales for one of the largest Global financial player, transforming core operations to turn the business into a next- gen, AI powerhouse. My biggest strengths: Thinking entrepreneurially and spotting whitespace opportunities, building exceptional relationships with stakeholders, and crunching data with the creativity of an artist.. Outside of work, you’ll find me chasing adrenaline — I’m an adventure sports enthusiast, certified scuba diver, and professional electric guitarist in-training. I also serve as the President of Global Shapers (Cambridge), World Economic Forum's flagship youth organization with 14k members worldwide. Always up to chat about game- changing ideas over a Scotch or chai (yes, it's not chai 'latte'!) :)
