What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my extensive experience in leading startups and driving growth in dynamic environments.

I am a results-oriented Senior Executive with over 24 years of experience in the Telecommunications, Media, and Entertainment industry. As the Co-Founder and CEO of Academe+, I have successfully navigated the startup through its early stages to profitability, developing a digital learning platform that is now active in over 4000 schools worldwide. My expertise lies in identifying and capitalizing on growth opportunities, which has been instrumental in driving substantial revenue growth and market expansion.

Prior to my role at Academe+, I co-founded Vonetize, where I served as the Director of Business Development. There, I negotiated multimillion-dollar deals with major Hollywood studios and telcos, significantly enhancing our product distribution and market penetration. My experience also includes leading due diligence processes for corporate mergers and acquisitions, where I analyzed financials and evaluated potential risks to ensure successful outcomes.
