Business

New York

I enjoy collaborating with clients to uncover growth strategies and design new business opportunities. This unique ability to blend one part dreamer and one part pragmatist helps deliver actionable value to clients by applying my interdisciplinary background from the Monitor Deloitte strategy practice, along with a mix of academic, finance, and user-design experience. I balance creative, human-centered thinking with strong technical analysis.
