Ventures, Portfolio

From Concept to Scale — One Venture at a Time.

Technology solutions that touch millions

As an Operating Partner, I work shoulder-to-shoulder with visionary founders—guiding strategy, sharpening execution, and staying close through the moments that truly matter.

In some ventures, I am a Co-founder, shaping the early product and purpose. I lend capital, context, and hands-on implementation of the long-term value creation.

With two decades in technology, an Oxford MBA, and a specialisation in VC and PE, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside ventures that cross sectors, borders, and belief systems. Each of the ventures is a distinct jewel in this evolving portfolio.
