About

Entrepreneur with 10+ years of experience building and scaling digital business models. I focus on developing structured, scalable systems that combine performance marketing, data and efficient processes to drive measurable results. At Workbee, I built a tech-enabled recruiting platform for the healthcare and social sector, helping organizations fill critical roles through a combination of digital candidate acquisition, pre-qualification and streamlined matching. My approach is pragmatic and execution-driven: understanding unit economics, identifying the key levers in a business model and turning them into repeatable, scalable processes. I am particularly interested in environments where clear operational improvements and focused execution can unlock significant growth and efficiency gains.
