I am a results-driven CFO with years of experience in leading the financial and strategic functions of high-growth companies in the AI and electric mobility sectors. I have a strong background in the startup ecosystem, having raised closed to $1 billion in private and public funding for Shield AI and Xos Trucks, two innovative firms that are transforming the transportation and defense industries with cutting-edge technology. I bring a blend of financial acumen and technical expertise to drive sustainable growth, leveraging my engineering degree from the University of Birmingham and my master's in management from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where I was a Robert Joss Scholar. I have a proven track record of scaling operations, optimizing capital structure, executing M&A transactions, and aligning financial goals with the mission and vision of the organizations I serve. I am passionate about building the world's best AI pilot and protecting service members and civilians with intelligent systems.
