About

startup founder and brand strategist who enjoys building products that simplify everyday problems. My career spans entrepreneurship, consulting, and product strategy, giving me a mix of big-picture thinking and hands-on execution. At Athena Executive Search, I led the Research & Consulting division, working with CXOs and boards on leadership, growth strategy, market research, and organizational transformation. I then was the founding member of TheHireHub.ai, a hiring platform designed to make recruitment more transparent, faster, and easier for both companies and candidates. Today, I’m the Co-founder & Brand Manager of Pikeazy, a consumer-tech aggregator platform simplifying online grocery shopping. I lead sales, partnerships, business development, and revenue growth, while experimenting with new ways for D2C brands to connect with consumers. What drives me is solving problems end-to-end; whether it’s creating a new revenue model, building a product, or designing a go-to-market strategy. I’m always open to connecting with entrepreneurs, business leaders, and innovators who are shaping the future of consumer tech, D2C, and digital platforms.
