I’ve helped syndicate funding for over 40 companies, and helped more than 60 companies with product, fundraising and connections.
As a product founder, I’ve created a software platform that has processed over $1B in loans, and as an operator I’ve doubled engagement for a fintech company’s 1.5M user base.
I've been an immigrant 4 times - in the UK, Singapore, Chile and the US. I believe that great founders, ideas and products can come from anywhere.
