About

25+ year professional exploring entrepreneurship; previously helped develop corporate venture capital at Siemens and AVEVA and ran end-to-end diligence through deal close, with heavy technical diligence on pre-seed/pre-revenue companies. Interested in building an AI-enabled hard lending/origination approach to reduce decision-to-close time and scale in a large lending market, and prefers VC studio/EIR models with paid roles rather than equity-only arrangements.
