About

I build at the intersection of technology, finance, and strategy- scaling teams, products, and investments to deliver lasting value. My career has spanned Fortune 100 companies like Visa and fast-moving scale-ups such as N26, where I’ve led initiatives from inception through to impact. Today, I’m part of Mubadala’s Artificial Intelligence Enablement team, helping shape how a ~$350B portfolio harnesses AI to drive sustainable returns for Abu Dhabi. Educated at UC Berkeley in Economics and Political Science, I’ve been fortunate to work across global hubs from San Francisco to London, Berlin, Amsterdam, São Paulo, and now Abu Dhabi.
