About Me

20+ years of firsthand operational experience with the scars and wisdom that come from going solo more than once.

  • Serial Entrepreneur

    Bootstrapped and scaled multiple successful tech businesses from concept to exit.

  • Diverse Founding Experience

    Navigated the entire startup lifecycle—solo, with co-founders, and through founder misalignment.

  • Technical Expertise

    Deep experience in building and scaling tech stacks for growing businesses.

My Story

At 43, I've walked the path many founders are just beginning. I've bootstrapped companies from zero to profitability, navigated co-founder relationships, and experienced both the highs of successful exits and the lows of startup challenges.

Currently pursuing Stanford's SEP (Stanford Executive Program) to refine my leadership lens and expand my global network, I'm looking to partner with high-potential founders who can benefit from my battle-tested experience.
