Profile Portrait
Investor & Founder
01 / Profile
From global banking to early-stage investing.
I spent two decades in banking across New York and Europe, working with major companies and financial institutions on corporate finance, capital raising, M&A and strategic transactions.
Over time, my work moved from transaction execution toward institutional relationships, leadership, capital allocation and long-term investment decisions. Since 2021, I have applied that experience to venture investing as Founder and Managing Partner of Metazero Capital.
