I've always been an advocate for identifying, evaluating, and executing business opportunities. My diverse background in engineering, science, business, and regulatory policy has equipped me with a multidimensional skillset that allows me to navigate complex industries and deliver exceptional results. I have a knack for thinking outside the box and finding creative solutions to challenges.

What sets me apart is not just my breadth of experience, but also my global perspective. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working in diverse sectors and gaining international exposure across the U.S., Europe, Middle East, Russia, and Asia. This experience has allowed me to develop valuable connections around the world and understand the nuances of different markets.

However, it's my ability to drive growth and success in startup ventures that truly makes me proud. I have an entrepreneurial spirit that has led me to start and grow multinational companies, found business accelerators and hackathons, and facilitate investments totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. My startup mentality means that I approach every endeavor with creativity and tenacity.

But it's not just about business for me. I'm also deeply passionate about innovation and technology. Throughout my career, I've had the incredible opportunity to work on advanced technology programs at reputable organizations like NASA, ESA, and the Russian and Japanese space agencies. I even started my career at Carl Sagan's space education organization, where I honed my research and development skills. As a self-professed gadget geek, I'm constantly exploring new directions in industries such as tourism, technology, healthcare, and space.
