About

Builder. Strategist. Operator.

I turn ambiguous problems into traction.

Finance. International development. Tech startups. I’ve worn a lot of hats - Deutsche Bank, World Bank, early-stage companies.

My sweet spot is the 0-to-1 phase. Finding the insight. Shaping the strategy. Making things move.

Right now I’m building in local SEO and EdTech. But I consult, advise, and co-build with teams that need a seasoned generalist who can think and execute.

Columbia. IISc. NIT Calicut. Based in Baltimore.

Open to interesting conversations.
