About Me

Leading AI at Gaia, where I own the company's AI strategy and build the agentic infrastructure behind it, from growth to member operations and engineering.

Before Gaia, I co-founded two AI startups. At MARBL (Founder & CTPO), an AI-powered aesthetics marketplace in the UK backed by Cocoa Ventures and senior angels from ComplyAdvantage, Wayflyer, FUSE, and Revolut, we hit 100+ bookings in the first two weeks. At Pallie.ai (CPO & Co-founder, backed by True Ventures & Palta), we built human-centric AI companions for mental wellness.

Before that, Head of R&D, AI/ML at Palta (Flo Health, Simple, Zing Coach, etc.), where I led LLMs, fine-tuning, and RAG, launching multi-agent health chatbots for 1M+ users and building custom compliance solutions.

At June Homes, I was the #1 Product Hire, joining from seed through Series B and growing into VP of Product. Led the entire product from 0 to $54M ARR and positive EBITDA, scaling both product and engineering teams to reinvent the housing experience.

Started my career at R&D for P&G, leading the most innovative product experiments including OralB Connected, OPTE, and 130+ other B2B and B2C projects. Transitioned from mobile engineering to product management.
