ABOUT ME

Photo by Daniel Wetzel

I’ve never stayed still—not in life, not in business. I’ve lived in five countries (so far), navigated diverse markets, and built a career on flying through borders. As a globe-trotter, entrepreneur, and strategist, I’ve built a career on turning challenges into opportunities, and helping businesses scale beyond their home turf.

From launching ventures in new markets to guiding founders through global expansion, I bring a no-nonsense, ‘yalla’ approach to business development. I don’t just advise—I make things happen.

Oh and I like rings…
