About

Early-stage investor, product launcher, and growth hacker who loves helping startups go-to-market. I've scaled companies across Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Now investing in great founders - I love being the first believer who writes the first check. In my off time, I love to travel, nerd out on policy, and collaborate with social entrepreneurs. My favorite thing to do is to build new relationships with interesting people. Drop me a line!
