About

I’ve spent ~17 years navigating global markets trading across CME, ICE, and Eurex and several other exchanges across all asset classes, building teams and managing business and learning how conviction, discipline, and adaptability play out when real money’s on the line. Markets taught me that clarity is everything, not just in trading, but in life and money. That’s what led me to start and invest in Fintellect in own time, a personal finance and wealth management platform designed to help people see their financial picture clearly, plan ahead, and make better decisions without needing a financial degree or ten spreadsheets. Beyond markets and fintech, I’m obsessed with how mindset drives performance. That’s the idea behind MMML (Money, Markets, Mindset & Leadership), a series I host to bring together people who want to grow, think bigger, and lead better. I also record and share bits from my fitness journey, part accountability, part curiosity, under a project called Fitness in the 40s. I believe today is the youngest you’ll ever be, so every workout is a reminder to test both physical and mental resilience while you still can. And when I’m not in the markets or the gym, I’m usually connecting people. I genuinely enjoy meeting new minds, hearing their stories, and introducing two people who should know each other but don’t yet. That same instinct to connect and curate is what fuels MMML bringing together sharp, open, growth-driven individuals and letting meaningful conversations unfold. Whether it’s designing better tools for investors or better frameworks for thinking, my focus stays the same, helping organizations and people move from confusion to clarity, from potential to performance. 📈 Markets | 💡 Product | 🧠 Mindset | 💪 Resilience | 🚀 Growth
