The story

Operational discipline, built inside the hardest rooms.

I started at T. Rowe Price. One of the largest active asset managers in the world. I learned what rigorous financial operations actually look like at scale. That foundation never left.

At The Carlyle Group, I moved into private equity fund operations. I built the EMEA Salesforce CRM from scratch. I redesigned the investor onboarding workflow. It became the global standard. Twenty-seven transactions a year teaches you to operate without margin for error.

Goldman Sachs is where the scale changed entirely. CFTC regulatory frameworks across ten departments in thirty days. A $580M entity migration across thirty-one trading desks. And the work I am most proud of. Deploying a Claude-based AI workflow tool to sixty team members in Global Banking and Markets. Cutting review-cycle times by sixty percent.

That deployment proved the thesis I had been building toward. AI is not a feature. It is infrastructure. Not a demo for a committee. A tool that goes into production on Monday and makes the team faster by Thursday.

In parallel, I am building three AI-native platforms under a single holding company. A hiring pre-screening platform. A renter-to-apartment matching product. A freelance task marketplace. Each attacks a market where current solutions are a decade behind the problem.

Operating principles

Precision over polish.

A framework that works beats a presentation that dazzles. Outcomes over optics.

Speed with rigor.

The 30-day CFTC framework was fast because the thinking was done upfront. Not because corners were cut.

Build to hand off.

The best programs do not require the person who built them. Designed for institutional durability.

AI as infrastructure.

Not a demo. Not a pilot. AI tools that go into production and get used daily.
