About

I build the commercial operating systems that take AI companies from Series A to scale. Currently Manager, Strategy & Operations at Elucidata (AI for life sciences, Eight Roads + IvyCap backed). I've owned what a mature org splits across GTM Strategy, Strategic Finance, RevOps and Strategy Lead. Before Elucidata, I spent 3 years at D. E. Shaw as a Financial Research Analyst across NYC, LON, HK and IN desks. Open to GTM, RevOps and Strategy & Ops conversations at AI and high-growth companies. DM here.
