Entrepreneur, AI Business Strategist, Consultant, Finance Professional, MBA Graduate from ESADE Business School I’m a hands-on entrepreneur with 17+ years of experience building and advising purpose-driven ventures, specializing in AI strategy, market research, business development, and financial consulting. I help companies leverage technology to solve real-world challenges and drive sustainable growth.

Whether it's guiding AI adoption, cross-border opportunities, or IPOs, I’m dedicated to delivering solutions that align with my clients’ long-term goals.

I hold an MBA from ESADE Business School, ranked #8 in the Financial Times Global MBA 2025 Ranking, and a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the University of British Columbia. My journey has earned me recognition as one of the Top 100 People in Finance by The Top 100 Magazine and the privilege of being featured on television and in publications such as Business Insider, Yahoo Finance, New York Weekly, and more.
