About

I’m a tech and growth leader building at the intersection of AI, design, and storytelling. Today, I’m the co-founder of Chronicle, where we’re reimagining presentations as an intelligent, designer-grade medium powered by AI. Our mission is to let anyone move from idea to compelling story in minutes - trusted today by thousands of teams, founders, and creators worldwide. My path here has been global and multidisciplinary: 1. Product building across domains: combining narrative craft with data, visuals, and interaction to solve “Death by PowerPoint” for a new era. 2. Scaling operations at Luxasia: driving luxury eCommerce growth across 15+ markets in Asia Pacific 3. Strategy Consulting at Monitor Deloitte (US & APAC: advising Fortune 500 clients on strategy, data, and digital transformation. At Chronicle, I’ve spent the past years obsessing over how AI can amplify both creativity and clarity - from generative storytelling to growth loops that scale communities to millions of users. My work bridges tasteful product with rigorous growth systems, informed by lessons from Silicon Valley and APAC. I believe the next wave of global products will come from those who pair AI intelligence with human-grade craft. That’s the space we're building in every day.

Chronicle

Co-Founder

Apr 2021Present · 5 yrs 1 mo · San Francisco • UAE • Sydney · Hybrid

  • Somewhere along the way, presentations stopped feeling like storytelling and started feeling like chores. You open a blank slide, stare at the cursor, and suddenly you are a part-time designer, part-time layout artist, part-time therapist to your own ideas.
  • That feeling is exactly what pushed us to build Chronicle.
  • When we started, we kept asking ourselves a simple question:
  • If slides had never been invented in the 80s, what would the ideal format for communicating ideas look like in 2024? Turns out the answer was not a slightly better slide editor. It was a complete reimagination of the medium.
  • Chronicle is a modern format that helps you communicate, capture decisions and tell compelling stories without drowning in the design work. A format that feels natural, visual, structured and alive. A format where your ideas take center stage and the tool quietly disappears into the background.
  • If you have ever spent a weekend building a deck that should have taken an hour, you know exactly why this matters.
