Entrepreneurship is what I do. Curiosity is what drives me.
I’m interested in how businesses grow, how ideas become reality, and how technology can solve meaningful problems. My journey has taken me across business development, real estate, entrepreneurship and technology, and I’m always curious about what comes next.
My storyPOVI’m an entrepreneur. Throughout my career, I’ve been interested in how businesses operate, how markets evolve, and how technology can solve real business problems.
My career began in sales and business development before moving into commercial leadership and real estate marketing.
In 2011, I co-founded Origine Real Estate Marketing, a digital agency specialising in real estate, which I helped build over 12 years.
