With experience at HP Tech Ventures, I specialize in the analytical side of early-stage investing, including startup identification, business model evaluation, and market data synthesis.

I focus on the analytical side of early-stage investing — identifying high-potential startups, evaluating business models, and synthesizing market data into actionable investment insights. During my time at HP Tech Ventures, I contribute across the full deal lifecycle: sourcing prospective investments, conducting startup due diligence, researching emerging technology markets, and supporting portfolio companies post-investment. Working within a corporate VC environment gave me a sharp lens for assessing how startups align with strategic enterprise priorities — not just financial returns. I'm drawn to the intersection of technology, innovation, and capital allocation.
