ABOUT ME - Exploring Growth, Ideas, and Connection
Over the years, I’ve learned that real growth isn’t just about numbers; it’s about creating something that endures. For me, it’s about building value through impactful decisions, meaningful relationships, or lasting contributions to the world.
As DuuCorp's CFO, I have the privilege of working for a company that embraces innovation, collaboration, and a shared vision for success. Being part of such a dynamic team inspires me daily to give my best and think beyond the immediate to what truly matters in the long run.
I’m passionate about exploring ideas and sharing my knowledge outside of my job. Writing books on economics allows me to dive deeper into topics I care about and connect with others who are curious to understand how the world works. It’s a way of contributing to the broader conversation and making a difference beyond the day-to-day.
But at the heart of everything I do is a belief in the power of people. The strength of collective effort has always inspired me—how a team, when empowered and valued, can achieve far more than any individual. Success, for me, has always been about more than hitting targets. It’s about how we get there, the integrity we bring, and the impact we leave behind.
Life isn’t just about the roles we play—it's about the journey, the lessons we learn, and the connections we make along the way. I’m grateful to work with talented, driven individuals and to be part of something greater than myself.
