About Me

I work on venture building, and the creation of new business opportunities, moving comfortably across corporate, startup, and public-sector environments. I enjoy working in contexts where ideas must be tested, validated, and transformed into real solutions that create value. My experience includes managing incubators, venture builders, and innovation projects, leading cross-functional teams, and designing products from early-stage experimentation to market launch. I work at the intersection of business, technology, and design, ensuring that each solution is both feasible and strategically meaningful.
