What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead growth-focused teams, build product-market fit, drive fundraising or investments, and deliver measurable revenue and operational improvements.

I am an entrepreneurial business leader with hands-on startup experience, real estate private equity exposure, and demonstrated success scaling teams and ventures. I founded and led a startup team through customer discovery, accelerator progress, and competitive pitch wins while securing funding and driving strategic pivots.

I combine analytical financial modeling and market research skills from private equity internships with practical sales, team leadership, and digital marketing experience from leading real estate teams. I bring results-driven leadership, cross-cultural language ability, and a dedication to building products and teams that grow revenue and investor confidence.
