After my time at BCG, I jumped into the entertainment industry, specifically with Fever in Spain, a company focused on scaling in-real-life experiences internationally. There, I've focused on analyzing large volumes of data and working operationally and strategically to bring live experiences to fruition. Currently, I'm even building an AI-driven distribution company for artists, a project I never imagined myself undertaking, but one that's proving to be a lot of fun.

I’m a former VC where I evaluated hundreds of founders, reviewed pitch decks, built investment theses, and led diligence for both private and public investments. I later became the CEO and founder of a venture-backed startup funded by Silicon Valley and Singapore-based VCs, giving me firsthand experience building strategy, GTM plans, and fundraising materials from the founder side. My background includes 20 years in strategy, finance, and operations across roles at Catcha Group (Southeast Asia’s leading venture builder) and the Clermont Group (private equity). I specialize in helping early-stage companies clarify their business model, craft investor-ready narratives, and structure compelling pitch decks and strategic plans. Whether you need to refine your fundraising story, tighten your strategy, or build a clear and persuasive pitch, I bring the perspective of both an investor and a founder to help you communicate your value and accelerate your growth.

At Waterfield Technologies, I inherited an organization with no strategic plan, disconnected systems, and a leadership team that had never been given a framework for thinking across functions. Over 18 months, the documented impact included over $1M in cost avoidance, $216K in unnecessary spending prevented in the first six months, a 40% revenue increase through a business intelligence strategy I designed and implemented, and an M&A integration that ran six months faster than projected. That work was built on a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt from Villanova and an Enterprise Design Thinking Practitioner certification from IBM — both applied inside real organizations under real pressure, not in a classroom. I have been the person responsible for transformation when the playbook did not apply, and the org did not want to move. That experience changes the quality of the conversation — not because I tell clients what to do, but because I know the right questions to ask when the situation is complicated, and the pressure is real.

With degrees from the University of Oxford and Columbia University, I bring a strong academic foundation in business strategy, innovation, and sustainability. As the Head of Programming at the United Nations Global Compact, I work with over 1,000 U.S. companies - including many Fortune 500 firms - helping them advance their sustainability strategies and navigate complex business challenges. This combination of academic expertise and real-world leadership equips me to guide aspiring business professionals with insight and impact. Whether you're applying to a master’s program or aiming to elevate your business profile, I’ll help you craft a clear, compelling story that reflects your goals and strengths.

I spent 1.5 years at LinkedIn as part of their strategy and analytics rotational program. I spent 12 months in BizOps and 6 months in Sales Ops. I've done dozens of resume reviews, networking strategy sessions, mock interviews, etc. Excited to help you become a competitive applicant!
