About Me

With a BA in Physics and Electrical Engineering from Harvard University, I have a strong foundation in data-driven strategic decision making and creative problem solving. Earning the trust and respect of diverse global teams, I led them to deliver transformational outcomes in commercial strategy and pricing, business modeling, and decision making. With my latest Enterprise SaaS company, this contributed to a company growth of 10x in 5 years. Before that, I have successfully set up organizations and processes, led teams and startups, delivered business and commercial strategies, negotiated M&A’s and outsourcing contracts, ran complex hiring campaigns. I have led, advised, or been deeply engaged with every single function in a global organization, at stages from startup to corporation. I look forward to leveraging my holistic strategic experience in an executive leadership role.
