about
I’m a serial entrepreneur and leadership advisor based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Over the past two decades I’ve founded multiple startups, led teams through uncertainty and scale, and eventually exited my last company. Today I work as a thinking partner to founders, executives, and investors who are navigating complex decisions where the answer is not obvious.
My work focuses on areas where judgment, experience, and context matter more than information. This includes startup strategy, leadership challenges, founder psychology, cross-cultural decision making, and navigating major transitions such as scaling a company, changing careers, or figuring out what comes next after success.
I mentor founders through organizations like Techstars, Singularity University, and the NASDAQ Entrepreneurial Center, and I regularly speak internationally about leadership and entrepreneurship.
I was born in Hungary, grew up in Algeria and Canada, and now live in California. That background has given me a deep interest in cultural intelligence and how people from different backgrounds interpret situations differently.
If you need a thoughtful human perspective on a complex decision, I’m happy to help.
