I have 14+ years of experience in entrepreneurship. I founded and co-founded several businesses and sold with a profit. I’m especially passionate about building scalable SaaS solutions that solve real wants and needs of the end-user. I’ve worked with fintech since 2014.

Startups

I help startups find product/market fit, define long-term goals, land the next round of investment and overall business strategy. This could be through one-on-one sessions with the founders, in advisory boards or through hands-on execution.

ENTERPRISES

Are you ready to take your organization to the next level and truly innovate? I help organizations innovate like startups by using startup methodologies such as Design Thinking, the Lean Startup and Google Ventures’ Design Sprint.
