Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in business strategy and operations, I bring a wealth of experience from my roles at Carta and Credit Suisse. At Carta, I was instrumental in driving growth through acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and new product incubation, contributing to the company's international expansion and multi-product transformation. My time at Credit Suisse honed my skills in M&A, where I advised on high-profile transactions such as the $27bn merger of Dr. Pepper Snapple Group with Keurig Green Mountain.

Strategy & Business Operations: Helped define long-term corporate strategy at the company level. Worked with Product & GTM leaders across company to augment strategic thinking and provide buy / build / partner framing. Worked alongside many talented & inspiring people. 4.
