I began my career in investment banking at Nomura and Morgan Stanley, working across IPOs, M&A, equity financing, and other strategic transactions. I later moved into startup companies across AI, deep-tech, Gen AI, and health-tech businesses, with a focus on fundraising, strategic finance, IPO, and cross-border execution.
My work has centered on connecting capital strategy with operating discipline — from financing and investor narrative to financial infrastructure, partnerships, and scale.
