Summary

With 8+ years of experience, I combine C-level strategic advisory across diverse sectors with the hands-on work of building and scaling a fintech from its initial launch (0 to 1). My leadership style is both managerial and deeply hands-on, leading project teams while leveraging concrete technical skills to execute and solve problems myself.
