I came to the U.S. to work for a startup and now call Seattle home. We live here with our two teenage sons—no day is ever dull. We love the Pacific Northwest, rain and all, and spending time outdoors.
I’ve worked across the full spectrum—from early-stage startups to global enterprises—but I’m most drawn to scale-up moments, when clarity, systems, and execution have to come together to unlock the next phase of growth.
I work from first principles, combining strategic clarity with hands-on execution to help teams build durable products in an AI-shaped world.
Over the years, I’ve learned that meaningful impact doesn’t come from a few heroes—it comes from empowered teams doing their best work.
I take a deeply people-centric approach to leadership. I think of it as activation: you can assemble a team by filling roles, but you must activate that team to achieve real outcomes.
Activation starts with clear expectations, empathy as teams form, and the willingness to adjust along the way. It means giving people strategic context, staying close enough to execution to help when needed, and trusting them to make decisions.
It’s not easy work—but it’s the most satisfying kind.
Along the way, I’ve learned to be intentional about balance—prioritizing self, home, and community alongside work. Professor Stewart Friedman’s Total Leadership course had a lasting impact on how I think about sustainability, not just success, and I try to model that mindset for the teams I work with.
And no introduction would be complete without mentioning our dog, Mili. She’s eleven years old, believes she’s still one, and rules our house completely. Though she’s lost her sight, she navigates the world with optimism and confidence—a daily reminder that perspective matters.
