Product & Growth Leader · AI Enabler. Products, brands, and growth across healthtech and fintech.

Summary
I like building products, brands, and growth. I also like exploring and learning. I scaled a meditation app from 1,500 to 40,000+ paid subscribers (USD 50K to USD 1.2M ARR), built an anonymous social network with peaks of 2M+ unique users per month, and today I enable AI-driven growth in fintech and healthtech.
