About

For the past five years I’ve invested in, advised and led GTM for a number of early-stage companies, building a reliable network of angels and VCs in the process. Today I advise startups and work on Foundermatcha to scale impact and create jobs for technical talent. My background in sales, finance and growth means I bring practical commercial experience to fundraising, go-to-market and growth execution. I’m always happy to meet likeminded founders/investors, feel free to pitch me via DM.
