I’ve always been drawn to the challenge of building things from scratch! Whether it was my first startup in California or later scaling SaaS and fintech platforms in the U.S. and Europe. What started as curiosity quickly became a career of translating bold ideas into go-to-market traction and real-world impact.

Over the years, I’ve co-founded and led companies that grew to 40,000+ merchants and $36M in annual transactions, raised more than $20M in funding, and built cross-functional teams of 70+ people. Those experiences taught me that growth isn’t just about numbers, it’s about building products customers love and teams that can carry a vision forward.

Today, as Strategic GTM Advisor to the CEO at SmythOS, I bring that lens to the executive team: helping shape strategy, align product and market, and ensure that execution scales with ambition.
