For most of my life, I was focused on building—companies, teams, and a version of success that looked great from the outside.
My career began in tech. I studied software engineering and AI. I started an AI advertising company in my early 20s, and spent 15 years as the CEO growing it into a successful global business. I chased the milestones—funding rounds, speaking gigs, awards. And I got them. But somewhere along the way, I started to feel like something was missing.
I had done all the things I was supposed to do. But I didn’t feel how I thought I would. So I did something I hadn’t done in a long time: I paused. And I asked questions I didn’t know the answers to. Not just “What’s next?” but “What’s this all for?”
That curiosity sent me in a different direction. I began to experiment. I stopped buying things. Traveled without plans. Immersed myself in meditation, breathwork, yoga, and nutrition. I got really honest about what I wanted and what I didn’t. Slowly, success started to feel less like something to chase, and more like something to define for myself.
These days, I still build—but from a different place. I spend time thinking about the future of technology, especially AI, and how it will reshape our world. I invest in companies and founders I believe in. But I also prioritize health, presence, and intention. I live simply. I experiment constantly. I try to live in alignment with what matters to me.
If there’s a thread that runs through all of this, it’s curiosity—the desire to live with clarity, to grow through experience, and to be fully awake to the brief and beautiful time we have here.
Thanks for being here. I’m glad our paths crossed.
