About

🚀 Tech Passionate | 📚 Lifelong Learner | 🌍 Global Citizen My career hasn't been a straight line—and that’s by design. I'm driven by a deep curiosity to understand how businesses are built, scaled, and transformed from every possible angle. This drive has led me on an unconventional but enriching journey: from crafting high-level business strategies for financial giants as a management consultant, to rolling up my sleeves to support market entry and fundraising for a B2B fintech startup. I've coached early-stage startups on growth and launched real-estate projects on the ground in West Africa—all experiences that taught me there's no limit to what you can do and no end to what you can learn. Today, I channel this blend of strategic and operational experience into my passion for early-stage tech. As a startup enthusiast and aspiring investor, I'm fascinated by founders building vertical B2B or B2B2C solutions in sectors that are— 🌟 Underserved, i.e., construction, insurance, healthcare operations, field services, supply chain, manufacturing 🌟 Overlooked, i.e., FemTech, care economy, and SMBs in “non-glamourous” industries (i.e., trades, wholesale distribution, property operations) 🌟
