About

I invest in industries at structural inflection points. These moments are when pressure has been building invisibly, and movement becomes inevitable. I got here over the last 20 years by doing the work. I co-founded Delivery Associates, a global public-sector advisory firm that grew to over 200 employees across 40+ countries. I led a $65M EdTech venture fund at Pearson. I started at McKinsey after studying economics at Duke. Across it all, the thread has been the same: complex markets, real infrastructure, and the conviction that the biggest shifts happen before most people notice. Today, I hold a concentrated portfolio across government infrastructure, deep tech, and the ownership economy.
