What I'm looking for

I'm looking for meaningful work at AI-native companies and venture-backed startups with roles focused on improving workflows, decision-making, and business performance, where I can grow deeper into AI and automation while contributing real impact.

I’m a business consultant with 3+ years of experience across strategy, growth, marketing performance, and business development. I enjoy turning complex problems into clear strategies, practical solutions, and work that creates measurable impact.

I’m now exploring the intersection of business and AI, particularly how AI can be applied to improve workflows, operations, decision-making, and how teams build and scale. I’m naturally curious, hands-on, and quick to learn, and I enjoy working in environments where I can contribute ideas while figuring out better ways to get things done.

I’m especially interested in AI-native companies, venture studios, and ambitious teams building what’s next.
