Experience

My career path has taken me from management consulting and high-stakes financial operations to the frontier of AI hardware development. I specialize in orchestrating complex technical programs, building high-performance teams, and operating at the intersection of strategy and execution. Whether sizing multi-billion dollar opportunities, optimizing trading operations, or coordinating cutting-edge chip development, I thrive on turning ambitious vision into operational reality.
