About me: I am an operator at heart and have always been focused on building products and businesses.

Post-graduation, I joined Strategy& in the US and worked on engagements delivering operational improvement and margin expansion for manufacturing and retail clients. Following the merger that created leading CPG manufacturer Newell Brands, I joined a departing group of consultants to work on the post-merger integration and later the turnaround of Newell as part of the firm’s internal transformation office.

Following several years of corporate experience, I joined my co-founder in launching Prinsta with the absolute conviction that it would upend the incumbent electronics manufacturing industry. Prinsta developed first-of-its-kind printers capable of rapidly producing circuit boards and electronic components in a quarter of the time required for traditional fabrication processes.

Immediately prior to LBS, I was working for industrial automation provider IPG and was seconded to Germany to lead the firm’s expansion into Europe.

I am pursuing an MBA at LBS to pivot to Asia where I see tremendous long-term opportunities in energy, industrials and technology, with the ambition to launch a search fund.

My first love is football and I continue to play when I can. I also enjoy surfing, hiking and generally being outdoors in warm weather.

Three topics I can be approached for: Finding purpose; working in the US, Europe and Asia; startups and search funds.
