Before VC, I was a Manager at Bain & Company in the Private Equity and M&A group, conducting commercial due diligence on acquisitions across various industries. My experience spans both the investor and advisor sides, giving me deep insight into how firms assess opportunities, structure deals, and operate behind the scenes. Beyond my professional background, I’ve successfully navigated the transition into VC myself and understand the challenges of breaking into the industry—especially for those without a traditional venture background. Whether you're looking to land your first role in VC, position yourself for a career pivot, or refine your investment judgment, I can provide actionable insights, tailored strategies, and no-nonsense feedback to help you stand out in a highly competitive field.
