I am a serial optimist, entrepreneur, and engineer from Boston. 250 days a year, my businesses take me around the world to over thirty countries across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. When I am not on the road, I split my time between New York City, Amsterdam, and rural Costa Rica.

At 11, I found my life’s passion: the infinite paintbrush of technology. For three years, I taught myself to assemble computers and program before working at MIT’s Precision Engineering Research Group. During my time there, I helped develop low-power, low-cost audio analysis technology to protect honeybees in India. Through this research, I learned computational signal processing, which laid the foundation for my career as an engineer. I attended Phillips Exeter Academy and learned to love writing, gravitational waves, and nuclear chemistry. I spent 2014–2016 researching applied signal processing for gravitational waves and laser interferometry.

While still in school, I worked as a founding engineer at startups innovating in collectibles (Restocks), pharmaceutical research (TetraScience), and stratified demography (StratoDem). Through these experiences, I saw the full gamut of company building: failure, success, and acquisition (with a few stock options along the way). I got my first taste of entrepreneurship through building and directing the Project for Better Journalism, a non-profit supported by the Harvard Innovation Lab, providing free journalism education and tools to over 50 Title I high schools in the US.

After Exeter, I began building businesses of my own: first in journalism, then in cloud data interoperability (in hindsight, LLMs were the missing leap forward) followed by another in financial services, where I became the youngest President of a Trust Company in Nevada (acquired by Equity Trust). Along the way, I’m grateful to have raised over $60M in venture capital from some of the most brilliant investors in the world.

Today, I am the CEO of Meridian, a technology company I founded to provide real-time global payments networking to financial institutions. Our growing list of partners includes J.P. Morgan, T-Mobile, Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), GCash, RCBC, and more. Meridian is backed by Europe’s largest private equity firm, EQT, and US-based hedge funds, Point72 and Lyrical. I also co-founded WatchCheck, a company transforming luxury servicing, in partnership with some of the most iconic brands in luxury, including Sotheby’s. I invest in water, energy, land, and applied technologies through my fund, Iridium Summer.

I believe that by putting great people and software together, one can create more equitable access to essential services. My work combines technology and global systems, building businesses to expand the world’s abundance.

In my free time, you can find me biking along the Amstel, sculling on the Charles, or skiing down Lone Mountain. I’m a competent sailor and love to run. I’ve never stopped tinkering with code or hardware, particularly networking infrastructure. I’m always seeking new places, unusual moments, great photos, and books with insights into economic history and exceptional storytelling. One day, I hope to teach, passing on the knowledge gained from my journey to those who inhabit the house of tomorrow. I care deeply about protecting the environment, improving the world's systems, and bringing more kindness to those in it.
