About

Built across edtech, ecom & now healthtech - mostly by figuring things out as I went. I’ve run operations on the ground, shipped products fast & grown 0 → 1 teams w/ limited resources. What keeps me going is curiosity, especially around how people behave, what they value & how small shifts in systems can create large ripple effects. Still learning. Still listening.
