IAbout

Translating complexity into decisions.

My career has focused on translating complex ideas into actionable decisions. That work has taken me from scientific research and technology commercialization to venture capital, equity research, portfolio analysis, and product strategy.

Across these roles, I have evaluated emerging technologies, studied public and private markets, and supported the creation of new ventures. The common thread has been understanding how information moves from insight to action.

I am particularly interested in the intersection of research, investing, technology, and human behavior — the systems that influence how opportunities are identified, evaluated, and ultimately pursued.
