Message

I’m passionate about building bridges across markets and helping ideas scale globally. With a background spanning government, financial services, and fintech, I thrive at the intersection of trade, investment, and strategy. Whether advising on cross-border growth, connecting leaders across ecosystems, or shaping policy, I’m driven by creating opportunities that empower people and businesses to grow. My MBA from Kellogg sharpened my strategic lens, but it’s my curiosity and love of collaboration that define how I work.
