Featured in 140+ articles by leading news outlets, sharing expert insights on business, technology, and finance. For over a decade I've been helping startups & enterprise companies innovate faster, in technical leadership roles, financial leadership roles, and as an investor.
With over 25 years of experience in tech and finance, at startups, SMBs, and Fortune 500 companies (including GE, Standard & Poor’s, Allstate, and many more), I am actively involved every day with portfolio companies and commercial enterprise clients in the US, UK, Western Europe, and the Nordics.

✔ CTO Leadership
✔ Financial Leadership
✔ Risk & Compliance
✔ AI (Artificial Intelligence) & ML (Machine Learning)

If you're a non-technical founder of an early stage SaaS AI startup that has raised at least $1m in funding, I encourage you to apply to our private investment fund. We speak with over 500 startups annually and invest into 3-5.
I wish we could help every startup that approaches us, but we can't. So I took lessons and insights from the past decade and put them into a book I coauthored with my business partner. Our book reached the #1 new release in Venture Capital on Amazon. The book is called "The 6 Startup Stages" and provides a framework for non-technical founders to build successful, profitable tech startups from idea to exit.
I speak on topics such as FP&A, AI, agile product development, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, financial leadership, technology leadership, startups, and enterprise product development.
Although I am still a New Yorker, I spend much of my time working at our offices in Europe and traveling to meet with clients and partners within the US, UK and other countries. 
With over two decades of experience in the software and emerging technology space, my journey has always been rooted in one thing—helping people and businesses solve real problems through smart, forward-thinking solutions.
I've worked alongside incredible teams, clients, and partners to lead digital transformation initiatives, introduce emerging technologies like Blockchain, AI and cybersecurity initiatives into real-world applications, and help organizations rethink how they grow and stay competitive. Whether it’s building out strategic partnerships, supporting international companies entering the U.S. market, or leading innovation programs, I bring an entrepreneurial mindset to everything I do.
What drives me most is building meaningful relationships and making tech feel less overwhelming for the people using it. I believe the future belongs to those who are ready to embrace change—and I’m here to help bridge that gap by demystifying the complex and creating room for bold, impactful ideas to thrive.
I also love learning from others who are pushing the envelope in emerging tech and other areas of innovation. There’s always something new to discover, and I’m always looking to grow through real conversations with people who are just as passionate about what's next.

Strategist & Innovator
"I create the ideas, the visions, new methods & technologies,
and turn them into companies and their successful and highly profitable products."
I am an innovator, strategist, and entrepreneur with more than 30 years of experience in creating and developing pioneering solutions for Internet infrastructure, Cyber-, Exo-, and Hyper-Warfare, Blockchain, AI, and Quantum Computing / Entanglement. Last, as a Think Tank member and Head of Strategy at RLC Cyber Defense Technologies (USA) for 14 years (and many companies before), I contributed to the company's success and growth by turning my ideas and visions into several start-up companies and products.
Recently I took a year-long creative break (sabbatical) to reflect on my past achievements and future goals, while enjoying the publication of my first EU/PCT patent on 'Zero-Day Fraud Prevention in Blockchain Transaction Systems'. I have a proven track record of delivering many technological "Firsts", such as enabling video streaming on the internet, building internet infrastructure and data centers in Silicon Valley - see my long list. I am passionate about exploring new technologies and challenges, and I am always ahead of my time (by at least 5 years).
