About

I am passionate about finance and technology and I feel most at home at their intersection. I started my career in banking before exchanging it for the excitement to work in hyper-growth startups, both of which went public. This is where I learned the ropes as an operator. I then switched to the other side of the table, as an early-stage venture capital investor in European startups. I have successfully managed teams and stakeholders in both small and large organizations. I have worn many hats in my professional life in order to learn different aspects of venture building.
