About

Curiosity has always been my north star. From taking apart toys as a kid (sometimes successfully putting them back together), to writing my first lines of code at 12, to leading product and engineering teams, I've always been driven by a need to understand how things work, and how to make them better. That relentless curiosity has powered a career across industries and roles: engineering, product management, marketing, and strategy. I've built things from scratch, scaled teams from 5 to 50, and helped launch innovations in gaming, travel, logistics, martech, fashion e-commerce, healthcare and more. What I've learned along the way: Building from zero is hard, addictive, and worth it. Problems are puzzles - and solving them with tech is a thrill. Great leadership isn't loud. It's accountable, communicative, and inspiring. Nothing beats winning, except winning as a team. Whether it's launching products, scaling orgs, or translating complex tech into stories that resonate, I'm all in. Let's connect, and maybe build something cool together.
