Work
-
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.
