About
Venture Operator | Built Environment & Climate AI
I am a strategic builder dedicated to scaling the technologies that will define our physical world. With a foundation as a Civil Engineer overseeing $1B+ infrastructure projects and a track record of scaling AI-native Climate Tech (Waterplan) from early growth to 100 people, I specialize in scaling impactful companies. What I bring: - Nexus Expertise: Deep knowledge of the intersection between Water, Energy, and the Built Environment, with a focus on the infrastructure. - Operational Scale: Proven experience navigating the "chaos phase" of startups - moving from MVP to enterprise-ready and managing the high-stakes GTM required for Fortune 500 clients. - Investment Rigor: INSEAD GEMBA and VC Advisor; I bridge the gap between engineering logic and Venture Math, helping founders build investable narratives and sustainable growth strategies.
