BIO
Cofounder and COO @Kuli, Creator Marketing OS. Six years at KPMG, where I became the firm's youngest-ever M&A manager and led multi-billion-dollar deals for clients like Nestlé. From the inside, I saw how badly the world's biggest brands struggle with social and creator marketing. I run sales and operations at Kuli, where we've signed clients like Disney and Nivea in our first few months.
