My great-grandfather was stripped of his name, assigned a number, and put on a ship from northern India to Trinidad as indentured labor. A generation later, my father was cutting sugar cane. He left for Montreal in the 1960s with no connections, no winter coat, and no shoes on his feet when he boarded the plane.
I grew up in a house where creditors called so often that I became part of the collections workflow. When the phone rang, I answered, took messages from mortgage companies, and bought my parents another week to find the cash.
From fourth grade onward, the algorithm was set. My father finished his corporate job; I finished school. Then we drove fifty minutes into downtown Montreal to clean office towers. We cleaned fifteen-story buildings one floor at a time.
This history shaped my risk appetite. It made me comfortable with volatility that feels intolerable to my peers. But it also taught me that problems are solved by changing the system, not just by working harder inside the old one.
I have spent 20 years in the trenches at the highest levels of tech: building, not watching.
I have built products myself: my own SaaS company, designed product UX/UI at Onavo that led to our acquisition by Meta for $120M, and worked with hundreds of companies building on Meta's APIs to create their own businesses.
As Global Managing Director at Google, I architect platform partnerships with Shopify, PayPal, Square, Alibaba, and the infrastructure powering millions of small businesses globally.
Before that, I was a founding member of Meta's Global Partnerships team, scaling the ecosystem from $300M to $10B.
I have founded three companies with two successful exits.
I have helped over 100 founders navigate the exact inflection points where companies either break through or break down.
I am not a career consultant who has never operated.
I am not an ex-founder who got lucky once.
I am an active operator at the highest level who chooses to work with select founders because I have seen the patterns.
The difference between companies that scale and companies that stall is rarely the product. It is the go-to-market. The positioning. The partner strategy. The operating rhythm.
These are learnable. And I can compress your learning curve dramatically.
My job is to make you better, not to make you need me. Every engagement is designed to transfer capability, not create reliance.
I will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. That is what you are paying for.
I do not care how many meetings we have. I care whether you hit your milestones.
