Skills
Summary
I help founders and operators escape competition and create compounding value by surfacing leverage others miss. Founder of Paper Street, where I built and scaled the first Integrated Capital Architecture—growing from $14K to $242MM by turning fragmented finance into a unified, high-performance system. Later, as FLTR’s founding strategist and catalyst, I personally drove the $1B COVID pivot—transforming a CPG business into a leading PPE supplier, launching new ventures, and seeding a multi–eight-figure portfolio. Across AI, data science, CPG, fintech, and SaaS, I’ve partnered with top operators, advised hundreds of founders, and contributed to dozens of ventures—including billion-dollar pivots, 40x venture returns, and a SaaS to YC/$18MM exit in under 18 months.
