Building at the inflection points of finance and technology.
I help translate complex technology and business problems into clear decisions and working systems. My work spans investing, fund infrastructure, digital payments, and AI.
For me, new technology earns its place when it reduces friction and makes finance work better. That’s what I focus on in the businesses I help build. I also bring people together to exchange ideas, build relationships, and put that thinking into practice.
I’m glad you’re here.
