About
I am a serial entrepreneur and deep-tech expert with a track record of taking complex technologies from the lab to global acquisition. My background bridges the gap between pioneering research—including an award-winning PhD in optical imaging—and high-stakes commercial execution, exemplified by the acquisition of my first startup, Lemnis Technologies, by Meta (Facebook).
As the founder and CEO of Curium, I’ve navigated the complexities of scaling software-defined sensor tech across three continents. I offer boards a rare %27full-lifecycle%27 perspective: I understand the nuances of IP development and fundraising, but I also know what it takes to manage a successful exit and integrate into a Big Tech ecosystem.
Why I Am a Strong Board Member
M&A and Exit Strategy: Having successfully navigated an acquisition by Meta, I provide invaluable foresight for companies preparing for an exit or managing post-merger integration.
Strategic IP Leadership: I specialize in positioning companies as %27category of one%27 leaders, as seen with Curium’s unique on-the-go sensor fusion technology.
Global Mentorship & Connectivity: My experience mentoring for the EU’s EYE program and the Singapore Deep-Tech Alliance (SDTA) provides me with a global network and a pulse on emerging tech trends in Canada, the UK, and SE Asia.
The Ideal Match
The companies that benefit most from my expertise are:
Deep-Tech & Frontier Tech Startups: Particularly those in Robotics, Optoelectronics, MedTech, and VR/AR that are transitioning from R&D to commercialization.
Autonomous Vehicle & Smart City Ventures: Companies looking to solve complex %27live operation%27 safety and reliability challenges through sensor innovation.
Scale-ups Seeking Global Expansion: Firms looking to bridge operations between North American and Asian markets, or those navigating the strategic complexities of the hardware-software divide.
