Strategy meets Intelligence

About
I operate at the intersection of strategic consulting and artificial intelligence—a rare combination that transforms how businesses create value.
As Team Lead in Bain & Company's Advanced Analytics and Private Equity Group, I bridge the gap between boardroom strategy and cutting-edge AI implementation. My work has shaped a global GenAI platform serving 250+ clients, while advising on 20+ deals each exceeding $1 billion.
My background—economics from UChicago, an MBA from Booth earned while working full-time, and 2nd place at the New Venture Challenge as CTO of an AI veterinary startup—reflects a consistent thread: using analytical rigor and emerging technology to drive real-world impact.
