I build, operate, and invest
in AI companies

Product leader turned entrepreneur with a knack for translating deep tech into business outcomes. I started as an ML researcher on autonomous vehicles at Ford, then moved to the business strategy side — because I realized the hardest problem in AI isn't the model, it's the go-to-market.

As Director of Product at Untether AI (later acquired by AMD), I led product strategy for next-generation AI accelerator hardware. After my MBA at Harvard Business School, I founded Guddi Growth, where I evaluated 200+ companies — including 50+ AI startups — developing pattern recognition for what separates AI companies that scale from those that don't.

I think about AI through three lenses: Can you build it? Can you sell it? Can it compound?
