My role involves conducting comprehensive analyses to identify promising investment opportunities in sectors such as AI, big data, and SaaS. I take pride in my ability to perform extensive due diligence, prepare investment memoranda, and monitor portfolio performance, which has led to my promotion from intern to Associate within just 18 months.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed multi-million-dollar investments and contributed to the strategic expansion of my firm in cybersecurity.
