Build.

  • Creating the innovation ecosystem of the future requires the best of academia, business, and government. I help businesses become enablers of national strategies, and governments balance precaution with innovation.

  • Customer obsession, culture of candor, and relentless optimization. With these ingredients I built top-performing teams. Now I bring them to organizations because operational excellence means better outcomes.

  • Policymaking is too often a tennis match between competing interests. I approach it as a relay race, brokering a space where innovation is a common pursuit among allies. To do so, I leverage my experience as a civil servant in tech, and a techie in government.

  • I invest in DeepTech and GovTech companies, with a positive bias towards public sector impact.

  • Featured Talks: World Economic Forum; AWS Summit; Transatlantic Digital Forum; United Nations; NATO.
