I specialize in
Former Operator & Founder | Founding Partner @ Overlook Ventures | Venture Scout @ Kleiner Perkins I'm a former founder and operator with an engineering mindset and a lifelong passion for building. I recently launched Overlook Ventures, an early-stage fund investing at the intersection of risk, data and technology. I also serve as a Venture Scout at Kleiner Perkins, partnering with visionary founders who are transforming how we manage, transfer, and leverage risk through data and tech-driven innovation. My focus is on startups tackling foundational infrastructure challenges—helping them scale from zero to one and beyond. Over the last 15+ years, I’ve evolved into one of the leading minds in risk transfer and financial services investing. A builder first, I’ve operated, scaled, and backed companies from inception to breakout—helping shape the next generation of financial innovation. My journey spans three continents and business experience across more than 10 countries, giving me a distinctly global lens. Long before arriving in Silicon Valley, I was deep in the world of tech and entrepreneurship—from assembling my first computer as a teenager to launching ventures across Europe. I've been building ever since. If you're a founder raising capital (venture capital) or if you’re working on something at the edge of risk and data—or just need an operator’s eye on your early-stage roadmap—I’d love to help.
