The person

The person behind the work

I thrive in the zero-to-one phase: no playbook, no team, no clarity. The job is to find the loop that grows the company and run it until it does. Building something from nothing is the most fulfilling work I know.

Today my attention is on AI: where it changes how marketers operate, how growth loops compound, and where the next generation of products will be built. The same operator instincts that made consumer hardware and fintech work apply here, only faster.

Outside the work, I am shaped by a long practice of stillness and travel across many countries. Both taught me to listen before I plan, and to back the people I work with as much as the work itself.

If we could create value together, write to me. I read every message personally.
