I’m a startup operator and strategic partner to founders—focused on helping teams move faster, stay aligned, and make better decisions at speed. My background spans aerospace, venture, and brand, but the throughline has always been the same: supporting executives through moments of change, momentum, and growth.

​

At Skyryse, a venture-backed aerospace company in El Segundo, I worked directly with the CEO and leadership team during one of the most pivotal phases of the company’s development. I helped lead the launch of our first aircraft—building the strategy, aligning cross-functional teams, and securing 50+ national media placements. We drove a 55% spike in traffic and shaped a narrative that helped unlock key government partnerships, including with the FAA and U.S. Army. I developed investor and regulatory presentations, supported speaking engagements, and ran internal town halls with federal aviation leaders—all while keeping internal comms sharp and the exec team on track.

​

Before that, I worked in high-visibility brand environments, coordinating runway shows, managing talent logistics, and executing campaigns for companies like AMIRI and Purple PR. These roles built my ability to manage pressure, align stakeholders, and keep operations moving in fluid, fast-changing conditions. Later, I worked with funds like Pegasus Angel Accelerator and GoAhead Ventures, supporting investment memos, LP updates, and founder engagement. I’ve reviewed over 1,000 early-stage startups and sat on both sides of the fundraising table.

​

What I bring to the table is equal parts structure and empathy. I understand how to work closely with founders, anticipate what’s needed before it’s asked for, and build systems that free up leadership to focus on what only they can do. I value discretion, strong writing, and tight execution. I’m someone who reads the room, runs toward chaos, and holds the bar high.

I’m based in Los Angeles and finishing my MBA in Finance. I grew up in Santa Fe, the son of a newspaper publisher from Queens and a father from Kathmandu who built a business from the ground up. That background shaped the way I work: resourceful, thoughtful, and ready to roll up my sleeves when it matters.

​

I’m currently looking to join an early-stage startup as a Chief of Staff or Operator—ideally embedded with a founder or executive team navigating a complex build.
