About

I leverage a background in Econometrics and executive leadership to drive investment strategy and portfolio diversification. My approach to capital allocation is grounded in operational reality. Having served as a General Manager with P&L responsibility for a $100M+ business and as an IT Director leading global digital transformations, I evaluate investment opportunities by understanding the systems, data, and processes behind the numbers. I focus on identifying sustainable growth, applying the lessons learned from managing cross-functional teams and complex logistical operations to portfolio management.
