About

I help founders and businesses turn bold ideas into products users love. Over the last decade, I’ve launched and advised multiple startups, including Mia, an AI networking app featured at the Web Summit, and SoilHive, which grew to be the largest open soil data platform backed by NORAD, The World Bank, and the EU Horizon project, now used by governments and organizations worldwide. What makes my approach different? Founder’s perspective → I’ve built and scaled products myself, not just advised on them. AI-first strategy → Using LLMs and low-code tools for research, design, and build to cut product cycles 5x. Hybrid approach→ Combining multiple Product and Project management frameworks for clarity + speed.
