BUSINESS STRATEGY & DEVELOPMENT

Designing better businesses
through strategy, data & execution.

I work at the intersection of business strategy, business development, data and technology — turning complex business questions into structured decisions, measurable systems and scalable growth.

I turn complexity into clarity.

My work starts with a business problem, not a tool. I combine strategic thinking with analytical systems to understand where value is created, where performance is lost, and what needs to change.

A strategist by profession.
A curious mind by nature.

I entered the IT world in 2019, driven by an interest in entrepreneurship and building products. I co-founded a tourism search business, then moved toward B2B after discovering a stronger market opportunity.

Over the years, product work became a foundation for how I think about businesses: start with the customer and the problem, understand the economics, design the system, and make the outcome measurable.

Today, my focus sits closer to strategy and business development — especially where retail, data, geography and technology meet.

What happens when
data becomes a decision system?

I’m especially interested in the next layer of business intelligence: combining BI, GIS and AI agents to move from reporting what happened to helping teams decide what to do next.
