I’ve spent my career deploying capital and building systems in some of the world’s most difficult environments: scaling a $116M program from the ground up, managing $186M across 700+ grants, and applying rigorous evaluation frameworks to reach some of the world’s most neglected populations.

What drives me is a simple question: is what we’re doing actually working? That instinct has shaped everything from how I designed grantmaking systems in active conflict to how I think about counterfactual impact, evidence-based adaptation, and where philanthropic giving has the most leverage. What gets me out of bed is the people—the ones working against long odds in places most funders never look—and the belief that thoughtful support can make a real difference to whether they succeed.

I’m transitioning into effective philanthropy, drawn to roles in multi-cause fund management, portfolio strategy, and evidence-based grantmaking. I’m particularly interested in cause areas where the stakes are highest and the funding most neglected: global development, improving institutions, and catastrophic risk.

My background spans strategic grantmaking, program evaluation, policy engagement, and operational scale-up across Africa, Europe, and Asia. I bring the judgment to make hard funding decisions and the systems-thinking to build infrastructure that makes those decisions better over time.
