Law. Strategy. International Business
I operate at the intersection of law, business, and technology, where strategy isn’t just about execution - it’s about leverage, foresight, and adaptability.
Starting out in corporate law (capital markets and fundraising), I learned how businesses get built, funded, and scaled. Over time, my work evolved beyond legal structuring into advising on strategy, decision-making, and global expansion.
Today, I work with clients on:
