What I'm looking for

Seeking a dynamic role in venture capital or direct secondaries where I can leverage my expertise in emerging technology investments, financial analysis, and project leadership to drive growth and innovation in a forward-thinking organization.

As a results-driven professional with a background in the entertainment industry, I am now transitioning into venture capital and direct secondaries. My expertise lies in identifying emerging talent, scaling projects, and building extensive networks. I have a proven track record in emerging technology investments and startup ecosystem research, with a strong ability to identify and develop early-stage opportunities through financial analysis and due diligence in fast-paced environments.

In my current role as a Strategic Projects Lead and Record Producer, I have successfully led projects that achieved over 1 billion user engagements globally. My achievements include two UK #1 Albums and two UK Top 40 Singles, demonstrating my ability to execute projects independently and collaboratively with global artists and Fortune 500 companies like Universal Music and Sony Music.

I hold a BA (Hons) in Audio Engineering and am actively pursuing certifications in investment analysis and financial modeling. My technical skills include advanced Excel, PowerPoint, and MS Office, complemented by native proficiency in English and Italian, and intermediate Greek. I am also an early adopter of new technologies, with a focus on AI and blockchain, and have successfully managed personal investments in emerging platforms.
