Investment Team

What I love most about 3VC is the people, the way we approach deals, and our shared commitment to making a positive impact—not only on the world at large, but first and foremost on the companies we invest in, supporting each founder throughout their journey. This mindset is deeply embedded in our company culture and central to every decision we make.

My background is in entrepreneurship through my family business, enterprise SaaS at Salesforce, and finance. My passion for innovation and entrepreneurship led me to pursue a degree in Technology Management at Columbia University in New York. Immersing myself in the city’s vibrant tech scene and dynamic environment shaped the trajectory of my career and ultimately sparked my decision to move into venture capital.

Now, at 3VC, I am inspired every day by brilliant founders who are building remarkable solutions and challenging the status quo. I am excited day in, day out to immerse myself in new ideas, tackle new challenges and combine my experience with their vision to help them grow and succeed.

How I refuel


Other than innovation and investing, I’m fueled by my passion for sports and art— you'll often find me gallery hopping on the weekends or exploring museums. I thrive on expanding my horizons, constantly seeking out new experiences, whether through reading, trying out fresh ideas, or immersing myself in different cultures by traveling the world.
