🚀 Investor | Advisor | Builder of the New Economy
With nearly 15 years in private equity, venture capital, and emerging tech, I help companies turn bold ideas into scalable realities.

My passion lies at the intersection of innovation and impact, where Web3, AI, DeFi, and the creator economy converge. I work hands-on with startups and growth-stage companies, guiding them through complex markets and helping them seize transformative opportunities.

I started in alternative asset investing, cutting my teeth on secondary markets, primary deals, and co-investments. That foundation sharpened my skills in risk management, capital strategy, and long-term value creation. As the tech landscape evolved, I expanded into blockchain, AI, and decentralized finance to support frontier tech with real-world impact.

🔹 Led financial strategy for three innovative Web3 startups focused on empowering independent creators, developing new monetization models, enabling tokenization of digital and physical assets, and fostering creator-led economies. Drove capital efficiency, financial planning, and scalable growth strategies across each venture.
🔹 Advised on tokenization strategies across sectors like art, entertainment, and sustainability.
🔹 Supported deep tech and AI ventures in scaling into new global markets.

Today, I focus on building the next wave of transparent and inclusive economic systems. I partner with visionary founders to help them move fast and scale smart, with strategic guidance on capital planning, financial management, and go-to-market execution.
