I operate where complex systems intersect — biological, financial, digital, operational. Across healthcare, industrials, technology, and finance, I build institutional-grade frameworks designed for endurance, not extraction.

Happy to connect with fellow Cornellians on: Healthcare investing, PE deal strategy, applied AI in regulated industries, building from zero to one, or coffee in NYC.
