About

I work directly with the founders at GigaML (YC S23) to scale our people, processes, and product. We’re pioneering agentic AI systems that autonomously resolve over 1M support tickets monthly transforming how enterprises automate voice and chat-based CX Operations. Previously, at KalaGato, I helped build and scale a data-driven acquisition model, securing 13+ mobile app acquisitions, including multi-million-dollar deals. I specialized in M&A, app growth, monetization, and post-acquisition scaling, driving profitability through data-driven insights and automation. My expertise spans AI-driven automation, growth strategy, and operational excellence—helping startups scale from zero to traction and businesses leverage AI for exponential growth. I’m passionate about building AI-first companies, optimizing revenue models, and driving strategic acquisitions.
