Amplify the human, don’t replace it.
I’ve built companies across three continents and five industries. Now I’m building with AI, and making the case that the best technology makes people more capable, not less necessary.
About
A career built in layers, one industry at a time.
My career spans multiple industries, from manufacturing and energy to nutraceuticals and consumer products. I also have experience with board governance, capital projects, and early-stage investing. Each layer has shaped my perspective, my skillset, and my approach.
These days I’m building consumer AI products and backing other founders doing the same. What ties it together is something I’ve come to believe: technology should help people do more and never be a substitute for them.

An AI stylist and color analyst that works from your own closet. It finds the colors that suit you, puts outfits together from what you already own, and gives an honest opinion on what to buy or skip.

Steap makes Golden Glow, an organic herbal tea of ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, green tea, moringa and red rooibos. I co-founded it with the belief that good health is built through small daily habits, long before a diagnosis.

I’m always glad to compare notes with founders, operators, and builders thinking about the same questions.
