About
Start-up CFO & VC
I help early-stage startups get investor-ready and stay financially healthy. With a background in FinTech product development and hands-on experience leading Finance, HR, and Operations at a producing startup, I bring practical, no-nonsense support — not just theory. I’ve also worked in investment banking and now serve as COO at a VC so I know what investors want and how to make your numbers tell the right story. Whether you’re planning a raise, building a model, or just need better cash visibility — I can help.
