After leading multi-billion dollar portfolios at UBS and QInvest, I took the entrepreneurial leap to found SAASPASS, where I pioneered advanced passwordless IAM technology. While we achieved significant technical innovations and built robust enterprise partnerships, I experienced firsthand the challenges and pitfalls of first-time founders. The expensive lessons learned ranged from GTM strategy mishaps to technology scaling decisions. These experiences gave me invaluable insights that complement my institutional finance expertise. Now, I bring this battle-tested combination of skills to others: the financial acumen from managing $100B+ AUM businesses, the technical understanding from building enterprise security solutions, and perhaps most valuably, the hard-earned wisdom from my entrepreneurial journey. Having been in the founder's seat, I understand both the excitement and challenges of scaling a startup, and I'm ready to help navigate these waters while applying the institutional-grade risk management and growth strategies I've honed throughout my career. My goal is to always contribute as a hands-on leader who has not just seen success, but has learned invaluable lessons from setbacks, and can help avoid costly mistakes while accelerating growth.I have a proven history of prescient analysis of market evolution, opportunities, and dislocations, and a track record of generating over $1 billion in profit for employers and over $10 billion for investors. I am passionate about supporting and mentoring tech startups, and I have been an angel investor and advisor to several successful ventures in the AI, SaaS, and cybersecurity domains.
