About

As Co-Founder & Head of Sales at QweD.tech, I’m helping build a trust layer for AI reasoning — a system that ensures AI outputs are verifiable, bias-free, and mathematically proven. Our goal is simple: make AI reliable enough for mission-critical decisions across industries like healthcare, finance, and research — where trust matters more than speed. At QweD, we’re reimagining how humans and machines collaborate — moving from “AI that predicts” to AI that proves. Because in the coming decade, verified intelligence will matter more than artificial intelligence. Before entering the AI space, I spent over three decades in the pharmaceutical world, working with leading organizations like GSK and Ranbaxy. Those years taught me how innovation, ethics, and evidence can transform lives — lessons I now bring into the world of AI trust infrastructure. Passionate about connecting innovation to real-world impact, I focus on bridging technology, communication, and human understanding, ensuring that advanced tools remain transparent, explainable, and beneficial to all. Because whether it’s medicine or machine intelligence — trust is the ultimate innovation.
