I excel as a board advisor by connecting deep technological insights with human-centered, cross-cultural strategy, helping companies navigate complex transformations while staying culturally attuned and future-ready. My background includes building frameworks for blockchain-enabled traceability in film production, leading transmedia storytelling projects for market differentiation, and deploying AI-mediated media narratives for strategic positioning. I am also experienced in cultural-tech governance and policy foresight, crucial for organizations operating in volatile, fast-shifting markets.

Companies that will benefit most from my expertise include:

AI startups seeking creative industry verticals and cultural scalability

Fintech ventures in crypto/blockchain requiring narrative trust and smart contract ecosystems

EdTech platforms innovating with AI and immersive learning

Creative enterprises preparing for Industry 5.0 transitions

Media tech companies navigating cross-cultural markets, transmedia expansion, and digital transformation.

I bring a unique blend of anthropological insight and emerging tech foresight, ensuring strategy is not only innovative but contextually grounded, ethically aligned, and globally scalable. I thrive in board environments where shaping future-facing roadmaps and robust governance are priorities, supporting founders and executive teams to move from vision to sustainable execution.
