- BCG (Consultant / Acting Project Leader) - Exited founder ($10m food / retail business) - Elevate Brands (VP Strategy & GM) - ($400m BlackRock-backed e-commerce scale up) - Entrepreneur (multiple ventures)
I'm a former BCG strategy consultant (Asia, multiple practices) who also has deep operating experience including as a founder (built & exited a $10m food retail business) and senior leader in an e-commerce scale-up. I have worked in Australia, Asia, North America and Europe and have started multiple ventures. I'm an especially strong generalist with spikes in strategy, operations, M&A / finance and modelling, and am equally comfortable working with large corporates and scrappy startups. Outside of work, I love adventure travel - most recently having completed a 1000 mile mountain bike trip in kyrgystan - and history / geopolitics - currently completing a long overdue MA in Middle Eastern Studies at the School of Oriental and African studies in London! Would love to get to know you all & share our common / diverse journeys.

I love adventure travel. I once travelled 5000km across India by tuk tuk, and have done some big mountain bike rides, including most recently across the high tian shan mountains in Kyrgystan on the Chinese border.
Founding and exiting a business with a long journey, plenty of lessons, and hairy moments in between.
I used to be a semi-professional musician, and quite by accident managed to write a top-selling Korean pop song.
