About · Career through-line
Professional background
My career has moved across financial services, logistics, manufacturing, and software, with each transition building on the last. I began in client development, moved through trading operations and compliance, and later carried those disciplines into company building.
Apollo required me to turn sales, operating, and compliance experience into a regulated manufacturing business. After selling it, I began developing Altira around screening and review workflows I had encountered professionally and as an operator.

Role fit
Where I fit
I am best suited to high-ownership roles where the problem is still taking shape and responsibility extends across functions.
Across Apollo and Altira, I have learned the domain through direct work, built the operating systems the work required, and taken cross-functional responsibility from customer and supplier needs through product, compliance, and commercial preparation.
