I help ambitious professionals navigate the fast-paced world of startups — from identifying the right company to join, to launching one of their own. I bring a unique perspective from my experience as an investor at Dragoneer, where I’ve partnered with founders across every stage of growth, from early seed to pre-IPO. That experience has given me an insider’s understanding of what makes companies succeed and key challenges they face, as well as what great founders look for in early hires, and how to evaluate opportunities for impact, equity, and long-term growth. Before investing, I worked closely with operators and entrepreneurs during my time at BCG, helping them think through hiring, product strategy, and scaling challenges. I can help you find or build the right fit based on your skills, motivations, and risk appetite. Whether you’re an aspiring founder or someone who wants to join a high-growth startup, I’ll help you clarify your path, position yourself effectively, and take bold but strategic next steps.

Hello and welcome to my profile! My professional career spans roles at competitive firms like Bain & Company (management consulting), Greycroft (VC/growth equity), and Snap Inc. (marketing & technical project management). I led resume reviews, interviews, and hiring decisions across all levels at each of these companies. On the college front, I was privileged to attend the University of Southern California (USC) on a merit scholarship. I majored in Economics and also graduated from their prestigious Thematic Option honors program. I've since supported several students through their own application processes, helping them craft compelling narratives, strategically position their applications, and prepare for interviews. While I have significant experience in various industries, I’m most passionate about technology, entrepreneurship, finance, and retail / consumer brands. Let's work together to make your career dreams a reality—reach out to start your journey today!

Four years ago, I made the leap from McKinsey into the startup world, and I've been helping others do the same ever since. Today, I lead Strategy and Corporate Development at a tech company backed by Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Silver Lake, and others. I manage a team overseeing FP&A, M&A, go-to-market strategy, fundraising, and investor relations, and I've helped raise eight figures of private capital along the way. I was the company's first commercial hire and grew from Director to SVP in 2.5 years, so I know what it takes to stand out and scale quickly in high-growth environments. Through coaching, I've helped dozens of candidates land interviews and offers at exciting technology startups (especially in media and sports) via crafting narratives, translating their experience, and navigating the hiring process with confidence.

I've started multiple companies during business school and am currently the Co-Founder of Lifespark, a fast-growing men's reproductive health company. I'm passionate about all things consumer, healthcare, and tech.

As the CEO and Co-Founder of Aloi Tech, I bring firsthand experience in navigating the challenges of launching and growing a tech company. My previous roles as a Product Manager at Minu Fintech and an Associate at Advent International have equipped me with a deep understanding of product development and financial strategies in the startup ecosystem.

Let's connect and explore how I can support your startup journey!

Building a successful startup isn't just about having a great idea—it's about having the clarity, resilience, and authentic voice needed to navigate the inevitable challenges of entrepreneurship. My journey from corporate accounting to author and coach taught me that the most sustainable businesses are built by founders who understand their "why" and aren't afraid to lead with their authentic selves. Having helped multiple small businesses launch successful endeavors, I've seen how startups thrive when founders combine strategic thinking with deep self-awareness and the courage to advocate for their vision. I specialize in guiding startup founders through both the practical and personal challenges of building a business. Whether you're struggling to articulate your value proposition, finding your voice as a leader, or navigating the emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, I help you build not just a successful business, but one that aligns with your values and leverages your unique strengths. My approach recognizes that startup success requires both analytical skills and emotional intelligence—and that your personal growth directly impacts your business growth.

I’m a co-founder of Amby Health, a Y Combinator W25 startup. I studied computer science at MIT as an undergraduate and later left a master’s program in machine learning to pursue my startup full time. I’ve been through the YC application process, the batch itself, and fundraised on Demo Day, which gives me firsthand context on how YC evaluates founders and early-stage ideas. I can help with: 1. YC applications and strategy Clarifying your story, tightening answers, and focusing on what YC actually cares about, especially for early or pre-traction teams. 2. Startup and career decision-making Thinking through startup versus big tech tradeoffs, timing risk, and why I chose the startup path over roles at companies like Google or Meta. If you are looking for clear, candid feedback from someone who has recently navigated these processes, I am happy to help.
