With 15+ years of global experience in AI, FinTech, Mobility, and SpaceTech, I’ve built and led high-impact ventures across 14+ countries, driving growth, innovation, and strategic transformation. Whether scaling startups, navigating complex M&A deals, or leading AI-driven digital transformation at Fortune 500 companies, my focus has always been on leveraging technology to unlock business potential.
As CEO of Ternary Capital Group, I lead investment, technology, and research initiatives in AI, Robotics, and SpaceTech, overseeing capital strategy, risk management, and AI implementation to drive operational efficiency and market leadership. Previously, as Chief Risk Officer at a fintech startup, I built a $500M BNPL loan portfolio and navigated high-stakes M&A negotiations. At Mercedes-Benz, I spearheaded digital transformation across 12 Asian markets, setting the stage for long-term agility and growth.
Beyond my executive roles, I’m passionate about mentoring founders, executives, and innovators looking to scale AI-driven businesses, optimize risk management, and break into cutting-edge sectors like SpaceTech. Fluent in four languages, I thrive at the intersection of liquidity, technology, and venture creation—helping ambitious professionals and startups navigate complex challenges with a data-driven, strategic mindset.
Fun fact: I worked on The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (2003).
