Mission
I have risen through the stages of the corporate world, built a startup from idea to exit, listened to thousands of pitches, and decided which entrepreneur would get the investment.

This rare experience has given me the opportunity to hear and understand each of the three sides - and to see points of successful interaction that others miss.

I will be useful in startup topics, scaling sales, relocation and global vision, fundraising, building exit strategy, and M&A deals.
My mission is to be a facilitator, sharing my knowledge and experience to shorten that path for you, no matter what industry you're in.
