About

I live and breathe being a connector. Whether it’s connecting people to people, people to opportunities, or capital to promising ideas, I love it all. It’s a passion I’ve carried throughout my journey with the World Bank, MIT, and as an investor. And it’s also why I'm building CoffeeSpace, the infrastructure for early-stage team formation — starting with an AI-powered platform that connects founders to cofounders and early hires through high-signal matching. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me at the gym, analyzing markets, or crafting a new Magic: The Gathering deck. I’m also a proud Coldplay fan – ‘Paradise’ and ‘Clocks’ are on constant repeat in my playlist (and probably outplay my next 20 favorite songs combined).
