About

I am an Associate at McKinsey, where I help companies launch and invest in new businesses. Most of my work supports companies / private equity firms who want to invest in software-based ventures, especially in advanced industries (like automotive / aerospace). Since joining the firm, I have worked on venture ideation / design, due diligence, and venture building. Prior to joining McKinsey, I spent almost a decade in the early stage startup world: I founded two machine learning-based companies (a HR tech company and a Y Combinator-backed generative design company) and worked at an early stage VC firm. I am full stack developer and still code for fun.
