About

I’m a strategic operator and former founder with a proven track record of turning vision into execution and scaling companies across tech, wellness, and security sectors. As a co-founder of a high-growth eCommerce brand, I led end-to-end operations, from GTM strategy and partner growth to financial planning and international expansion. I bring a founder’s mindset, strong commercial intuition, and a data-driven approach to value creation. I understand the realities of building in fast-moving markets and thrive in environments that demand clarity, adaptability, and results. Now, I’m eager to partner with and support founders from the other side of the table, helping early-stage teams scale sustainably, avoid common pitfalls, and unlock strategic growth.
