Entrepreneurship has shaped my career, but my focus today extends beyond building companies to strengthening them at the governance level. I serve as an Independent Board Director and strategic advisor, helping organizations navigate growth, operational complexity, and the increasing demands of digital oversight. I currently serve on various boards where I contribute to enterprise governance, technology risk awareness, and organizational resilience.
​
My board experience includes oversight and advisory contributions in the following areas:
-
Corporate Operations and Organizational Performance

Corporate Governance and Board Effectiveness
-
Cybersecurity and Digital Infrastructure Risk
-
Crisis Management and Operational Continuity
As a founder and executive leader, I bring firsthand experience building and scaling organizations. I have worked closely with leadership teams to strengthen operational discipline, align strategy with execution, and support sustainable, long-term growth. My governance perspective is grounded in practical operational experience, allowing me to contribute meaningful oversight while supporting executive leadership through periods of expansion and transition.
​
I believe effective board leadership requires clarity, accountability, and the ability to anticipate risk while enabling innovation. I use my experience in digital systems, human behavior, and enterprise leadership to provide informed, independent judgment that strengthens organizational decision-making and long-term stability.
