BIO
CEO & Co-founder of Risely; serial operator with 13+ years building businesses. As GM at Airwallex, I built the Americas business from 0 to 1 and delivered 11x revenue growth. As VP Product at Trustedhealth, I transformed the growth funnel with automation and drove double-digit conversion gains. As Head of Platform Growth at NerdWallet, I drove $17M+ in P&L impact, and at Bain, I shaped market strategy for leading tech firms. I’m most at home building from zero & closing seven-figure deals.
