About

I’m a (future) trainee solicitor at a leading London corporate law firm. I previously founded and drove product growth in various ventures across the climate and AI spaces. I also publish Algae, a newsletter unpacking the most cutting-edge technologies defining our futures in climate and beyond, from a regulatory perspective. I’m always eager to chat with builders and backers in the impact space — feel free to reach out!
