About

I am deeply passionate about mentorship because I believe in the transformative power of guidance and shared experiences. Having been through the challenges of building and scaling businesses, particularly in dynamic markets, I have seen firsthand how mentorship can catalyze personal and professional growth. By providing strategic advice and fostering critical skills, I can empower emerging entrepreneurs to overcome hurdles, make informed decisions, and achieve their vision with confidence.

My focus areas are diverse, reflecting a blend of business strategy, financial management, and technology-driven innovation. I am particularly interested in helping founders create impactful business models, scale sustainably, and harness emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain to stay ahead. Moreover, I am passionate about navigating regulatory landscapes, especially for fintechs and businesses with cross-border operations.

Through this mentorship, my goal is to offer insights from my experiences, learn alongside dynamic innovators, and cultivate a network of change-makers who build lasting impact. I strive to be an empathetic and strategic guide who not only advises but also grows through every interaction.

Mentorship motivation

  • I want to give back to the startup ecosystem and entrepreneurs coming up
  • I want to scout for new opportunities in engaging as an advisor or for a board seat

I mentor because I believe in the power of shared knowledge and collective growth. Having faced my own challenges and learned from both successes and setbacks, I understand the value of having a trusted guide who can provide direction, encouragement, and critical insights. Mentorship allows me to give back by helping others navigate their journeys, avoid common pitfalls, and reach their full potential faster.
