A career built around financial clarity
My work centers on building practical financial systems — through Finnimo, and directly with the founders and companies I advise. I focus on the structure that makes decisions clearer: clean models, honest numbers, and systems that hold up as a company grows.
My background spans investment research, financial planning, and financial analysis, supported by graduate study in finance and international business and an engineering foundation. That mix of analytical depth and execution shapes how I approach strategy, modeling, and product-building.
Today I lead Finnimo, an AI-powered platform that makes money easier to understand, move, and manage. I also advise early-stage founders on financial strategy and modeling, and write on AI in finance and market behavior.
