"Investing in products people love and teams rely on."

Why did you become a VC investor?

I became a VC investor because I enjoy working with ambitious founders who are building something new and tackling interesting problems. Meeting founders early, asking questions, and learning about new markets, technologies and ideas brings together what I enjoy most about the role: constant learning, diverse perspectives, and the opportunity to support companies from their earliest stages. No two founders, companies or days are ever quite the same — and you get to be part of someone’s journey long before you know how the story will end.

What makes a good founder to you?

I’m drawn to founders who are curious, resilient, and genuinely care about the problem they are solving. I enjoy working with people who ask questions, challenge their own thinking, and are open to learning along the way. For me, it’s also about the person behind the idea — how they think, how they work with others, and how they bring people along as the company grows.

What was your greatest adventure?

My greatest adventure has been calling five different countries home. Living across different cultures has taught me to look at the same thing from very different angles - and to be curious about what I might be missing. I think that curiosity has stayed with me, both personally and in the way I work with people.
