Summary
As a serial entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and technologist, my career is defined by a fervent passion for pioneering platforms within AI, Fintech, Health-tech, and Advertising. I have co-founded and led several successful startups and invested in numerous early-stage ventures in these sectors. Currently, I am the Founder & Chief Creative Officer at Cre8Lab. I have also held notable positions such as Founder & CEO of Buysight, Founder & CTO of Rhythm New Media, and Venture Partner at Neocarta Ventures. My career began as a Technical Yahoo at Yahoo, Inc., where I worked on creating Yahoo! Messenger, one of the first messaging applications in the world. Driven by a strong belief in network effects, I focus on leveraging my expertise and connections to support and elevate the next wave of creative entrepreneurs and innovators.
