About

I work at the intersection of storytelling, technology, and business. Trained as an engineer, shaped by strategy, drawn to creative work that matters.

Currently Chief Growth Officer at Chrono24. Previously: Head of Global Market Operations at Nextdoor, CCO at Domestika, Managing Director at Houzz, CEO at Zalora, Senior Engagement Manager at McKinsey. Columbia MBA.

In parallel, I produce independent film through Steamcraft and Automata Films — because some stories are worth building companies around.
