I’m passionate about mentoring because I believe in the power of knowledge sharing and community-driven growth. Having built and supported businesses across multiple sectors, I understand the challenges founders face—especially in the early stages when critical decisions can define long-term success. I see mentorship as an opportunity to give back, helping innovative entrepreneurs avoid common pitfalls, stay focused, and scale effectively.

My interests lie primarily in business development, strategic finance, and market expansion—especially in emerging markets. I’m particularly drawn to companies that are impact-driven, tech-enabled, and focused on sustainable growth. I also have a strong background in international business relations and ecosystem building, which allows me to help founders think globally from the outset.
Whether it’s refining a business model, navigating investor discussions, or aligning on a go-to-market strategy, I aim to be a sounding board, a challenger, and a trusted ally. I’m excited to connect with visionary founders and contribute to their journey through insight, encouragement, and real-world experience.

I’m passionate about contributing to the startup ecosystem and supporting emerging entrepreneurs as they navigate the early stages of growth. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep interest in discovering new industries, learning from bold ideas, and identifying scalable opportunities. Mentoring allows me to share my experience while staying connected to innovation at its roots.
I also see this as a chance to explore potential investment opportunities and strategic collaborations, whether through direct involvement or board-level engagement. Beyond that, mentoring is a valuable gateway to building meaningful connections with founders and other ecosystem stakeholders—connections that can benefit both my own work and the organizations I support.
