I'm an entrepreneur, investor, and mentor driven by one core question: "What if we could truly cure and prevent autoimmune diseases?" From leading groundbreaking projects at Tesla and SpaceX, I've now turned my passion toward funding research that can change millions of lives.
The Journey Here:
Imagine building something entirely new at Tesla—from zero to over 90 brilliant minds in less than six months. Picture leading a passionate volunteer team at SpaceX, tackling the challenge of building the Hyperloop, the future of transportation. These experiences taught me what’s possible when driven teams unite around a bold vision.
Now, driven by deeply personal experiences, I've founded ASDF Global—a fund exclusively committed to curing and preventing autoimmune diseases. We believe in funding bold ideas, backing courageous researchers, and creating real, lasting solutions.
