About

From civil engineer to portfolio entrepreneur, my journey has always been about building — not just infrastructure, but teams, and ventures that solve real problems and create long-term value. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve transitioned from founding a single service-based company into leading a growing portfolio of ventures. My engineering background instilled in me the discipline of structured thinking and systems design — foundations I now apply to business development, venture building, and scalable solution creation. As the CEO of a capacity-building company recognized by the World Economic Forum, I’ve led the development of award-winning programs, co-created impactful products, and contributed to national innovation agendas. Now, I’m focused on shaping and investing in businesses that combine social relevance with sustainable value creation — from early concepts to operational ventures. Whether it's launching a product, forming a team, or unlocking growth, I thrive at the intersection of strategy, execution, and purpose. I believe great businesses are built — one insight, one problem, one solution at a time — with people at the center. This is what drives me. This is what I do best.
