What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that allows me to leverage my strategic skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on impactful projects and career growth.

I am a results-driven corporate development professional with extensive experience in the EdTech and investment banking sectors. Currently, I lead strategic initiatives at Classplus, where I have successfully driven domestic and international acquisitions, significantly impacting the company's growth trajectory. My ability to conduct thorough due diligence and create compelling investment memos has been instrumental in advancing high-value projects.

Previously, I honed my analytical and leadership skills at J.P. Morgan, where I played a key role in major transactions across the oil and gas sector. My experience includes managing teams, improving operational efficiencies, and contributing to significant deals that enhanced client portfolios. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to drive impactful business decisions and foster organizational growth.
