## About

The most interesting opportunities sit where disciplines collide\. Today, that intersection is AI, Physical Intelligence, deep\-tech, infrastructure, and innovation\. We are entering an era where intelligence is no longer confined to people\. It is becoming embedded in machines, networks, industries, and the physical world itself\. What fascinates me is not just the technology, but how it reshapes the systems around it: organizations, industries, communities, and the way people work and create\. Over the last 17\+ years, I have worked across biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, startups, social impact, and now advanced technology\. Along the way, I have built factories, teams, partnerships, programs, operating models, and execution engines\. Different industries\. Same challenge: turning possibility into reality\. Moving across disciplines has given me perspective\. Science taught me rigor\. Operations taught me execution\. Entrepreneurship taught me resourcefulness\. Social impact taught me systems thinking\. Technology continues to teach me leverage\. People taught me that none of it matters without trust, empathy, and the ability to bring others along\. My advantage lies in connecting ideas that do not usually live in the same room\. I move comfortably between strategy and execution, founders and frontline teams, technology and people\. I enjoy bringing clarity to complexity and helping ambitious ideas find their way into the real world\. Outside work, I am a competitive sportsperson, a certified dance fitness instructor, and a lifelong student of the performing arts\. Sport taught me resilience and discipline\. Dance taught me energy, presence, and how to create momentum in people and teams\. Both continue to shape how I lead\. A simple principle guides me: leave things better than you found them\. The thread running through my career has been a curiosity about how systems work, and a desire to make them work a little better\.
