I build and scale deep-tech ventures. As a physicist turned entrepreneur, I founded Genesis Cloud, scaling a GPU machine learning platform to 5,000+ users, 40% MoM growth, and a high seven-figure exit. At McKinsey’s Venture Building practice, I architected 0-1 digital ventures for Fortune 500s. Today, I advise global clients on product-led growth through V4 Ventures, while leading the commercial power division at Gecko Robotics to deploy Agentic AI across the US energy sector. I combine analytical rigor with a founder's bias for action to ship products that win.
Strategy is cheap; execution is everything. Leveraging my experience founding Genesis Cloud and scaling 10+ ventures at McKinsey & high growth startups, I provide a battle-tested, data-driven blueprint for 0-1 growth.
I apply a physicist’s analytical rigor to product development. By eliminating guesswork and focusing on hard metrics, we minimize risk and ship products that drive immediate revenue.
I built AI infrastructure years before the current boom. From deploying Boston Dynamics in industrial environments to launching Agentic AI diagnostics in US power plants, I bridge the gap between complex models and real-world utility.
Strategy without implementation is just theory. I combine McKinsey-level frameworks with a technical founder’s bias for action. Whether you're navigating an enterprise AI transition or restructuring a deep-tech portfolio, I position your organization to aggressively capitalize on technological shift, not just react to them. We don't just build roadmaps; we build competitive moats.
