I bring years of experience across business across operations, strategy, sales, finance, and start-up leadership.

 

I'm passionate about building, analyzing, and investing in ventures that solve real-world problems. From a mature business to taking a start-up from 0 to 1, I enjoy the complexity and in-depth thinking required in taking charge of a business, department, or task.​

Work Experiences

In a role, I look for fast-paced environments that make me learn. I believe that one must continue to grow in life. If you are too comfortable and the role is too predictable, you will stagnate. 

An agtech start-up initially focusing on viticulture. As the founders associate/chief of staff I was responsible for a bit of everything. From building foundational processes, to generating the sales playbook and pipeline, to managing potential investors and doing financial forecasts, I have a hand in all parts of the business.

 

Cordon blends hardware and software making is a perfect environment to learn and grow. Raising a seed round in Q1 2026.

A b2b tech start up that is changing the way IT is handled by small to medium sized enterprises. As a member of the founding team I have helped craft the image and long term strategy of the company. With the founders I helped develop our pitch and website, worked with institutional investors as well as the UK Government, and developed the sales pipeline and have helped the company take the leap from 0-1

My family business. A construction company from Syracuse, New York, we fabricated and installed stone countertops all over New York State.

 

I was responsible for improving our processes, operations, and purchasing. I also led digital transformation projects for the team, upgrading our shop-floor management and digital footprint.  I also managed our supply chain during the COVID-19 crisis with minimal disruption. 

Academic Experiences

These are my formal academic experiences. Mirroring the sentiment above, I believe that in order to progress in life you have to keep learning. These are the times I devoted myself solely to that experience.

A two-year period when I pushed myself and pivoted. LBS helped me reevaluate what I wanted to do and why.  I found my spikes, as people like to say, in the entrepreneurial and venture capital-focused classes. However, my favourite class was AI, where we learned the foundations of LLMs, neural networks, and the math behind backpropagation. 

 

The value of the network was not fully appreciated during my time at LBS, but since graduation, it has been incredible to see and meet other alumni in London and across the globe. 

Without sounding too much like Andy Bernard from The Office, Cornell is a world-class school. The ILR School at Cornell helped me develop my soft skills and understand the importance of psychology in business and life. My minor in Finance has helped me while investing and understand the fundamentals of finance.
