About

I work at the intersection of strategy, finance, and execution, partnering with leadership to turn complexity into decisions that hold up under scrutiny. Right now, that means sitting close to leadership on fundraising, strategic initiatives, and board level strategy, while building investor ready materials, evaluating acquisition targets, and translating deep tech complexity into documents leadership can act on directly. Before this, I built analytics systems and reporting cadences from the ground up that were adopted at the leadership level, with a measurable impact on decision speed and cost efficiency. I have also managed strategic partner relationships and served as the coordination point between technical, manufacturing, and commercial teams, aligning them around decisions that needed to stick. The common thread across these roles remains consistent: get close to leadership, make complexity usable, and align functions that don't naturally work together.
