About

I’m not your average angel investor. I’m the person who wakes up thinking about how to scale e-commerce startups into category kings and disrupt retail tech like it’s 1999 all over again. For over 18 years, I’ve been deep in the trenches of e-commerce, retail innovation, fintech integrations, and digital transformation building, funding, and mentoring startups that are changing how people shop, pay, and engage online. My track record is simple: I invest early, I mentor hard, and I push founders to break barriers from seed rounds to scaling global marketplaces and retail tech platforms. Whether it’s optimizing user journeys, revolutionizing supply chains, or unlocking fintech opportunities to fuel commerce, I’m all in. I’ve backed 20+ startups, led successful exits, and coached entrepreneurs to build robust digital commerce brands that dominate their categories. I specialize in e-commerce scaling, retail tech innovation, fintech-powered growth, and digital transformation strategies that drive revenue and user engagement. My hands-on approach blends strategic capital, operational savvy, and market insight to accelerate growth. If your startup is solving problems in online retail, marketplace tech, payment solutions, or supply chain digitization, I want to talk. My network connects founders to top-tier investors, tech partners, and industry experts worldwide. Let’s build the future of commerce together.
