Founder-Turned Cross-Functional Operator | Turning Founder Priorities into Execution | Growth • Product • Operations

About

My career has moved back and forth between building companies and operating inside them. I started that journey at 19, when I co-founded BOWE, an EdTech company connecting students with industry experts. We built it from scratch, grew a community of 3,000+ students, worked with hundreds of experts and signed 25+ clients. I was involved in almost everything that came with running an early-stage company: customers, partnerships, product decisions, hiring, operations and figuring out what to prioritise with limited time and resources. After BOWE, I joined Supergigs as its first employee. My role covered product and business, and I helped build the marketplace as it grew to thousand(s) of freelancers across 20+ countries. Then came 5X and Proximity Works. That’s where I started working much closer to CEOs and leadership teams, and my scope expanded across strategy, operations, hiring, process automation, client priorities and new market initiatives. Those experiences shaped the kind of work I naturally gravitate towards. I like understanding what matters to the business, breaking it down into something executable, bringing the right people together and staying close enough to the work to make sure it moves. In early 2025, I went back to building and co-founded Soraaya AI. We spent a lot of time talking to customers, testing the product and refining how we deployed it. In the first 60 days, we ran 50+ customer conversations and five pilots. Building again also gave me a better perspective on the operating roles I had taken on over the previous few years. Since then, I’ve worked with teams including teiō, Strawberry Browser and AvenirX across GTM, product, operations and company-building. The companies have been different. So have the problems. But most of my work has ended up sitting across functions rather than neatly inside one department. Growth, product, people and operations often overlap when a company is moving quickly, and that intersection is where I tend to do my best work. My experience now spans both sides of the table: building as a founder and working inside companies as an operator. I’m still interested in the same question that has followed me through most of my career: How do you take something important to a founder or a business and actually get it done?
