What I'm looking for

I seek a role in venture investing or strategic growth where I can source and scale startups, build partnerships, lead fundraising, and apply corporate finance expertise within an international, collaborative team.

I bring a unique combination of venture capital, family office, and Big Four corporate finance experience, focused on identifying high-potential startups and building market-entry strategies across international markets.

At Ebla Ventures and prior roles I led early-stage startup assessments, guided fundraising and valuation work, structured investment agreements, and executed go-to-market launches. I was recognized for impact on startup growth (Employee of the Year 2022) and delivered measurable results like a 27% lead conversion for UAE market entry efforts.

I work fluently across English, Spanish, and Arabic and am proficient with Eikon Refinitiv, Capital IQ, Crunchbase, Stata, Google Ads tools, and Canva. I am driven to connect high-potential ideas with the right markets and partners through strategic partnerships and hands-on execution.
