I worked as an investment banker in Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s Consumer & Retail group, executing M&A and equity / debt financings. Afterwards, I worked at CCMP Capital, a private equity firm, leading buyouts of companies in the consumer and industrials verticals. Following business school, I moved into operational finance and strategy at a high-growth SaaS startup called Brightloom, where I was most recently the VP, Finance. Brightloom leveraged AI and ML to help consumer brands personalize customer engagement.

I attended UCLA, studying Business Economics. After working for several years, I earned an MBA in Entrepreneurship & Innovation from Wharton, graduating with Honors.

I am based in San Francisco and love taking advantage of the outdoors, hiking and lap swimming frequently. On foggy days, I enjoy playing chess and expanding my knowledge of chess theory. You’ll often find me reading a biography or detective / sci-fi novel, or catching a UCLA football or basketball game.
