Activate Innovation Ecosystems | Tech Ambassador | Founder of Alchemy Crew Ventures + Scouting for Growth | Chair, Board Member, Advisor | Honorary Senior Visiting Fellow-Bayes Business School

I don't just talk about innovation, AI, workforce or digital transformation— I build the bridges that make things real.

As Founder & Venture-Client Partner of Alchemy Crew Ventures, I run global R&D + Adoption Labs that connect Fortune 500 insurers and corporates with the most brilliant tech ventures on the planet. Think of us as the “fast lane” between startup brilliance and enterprise adoption. My themes include FinTech/ InsurTech and deploying AI at scale responsibly. 

What this looks like in numbers:
📍 Accelerated 160+ ventures and sourced 55,000+ startups worldwide
📍 Invested in 35+ early stage startups
📍 Delivered exits like FitSense → Zurich (2018), MyFutureNow → L&G (2019), and Tia Tech → Sapiens (2020)
📍 Created Insurer-led Acceleration and Scaleup programs that turned pilot purgatory into scalable commercial success

But the real story? I help founders land their first million-dollar client, build authentic personal brands, and help corporates cut through the noise to adopt tech that drives real growth.

My world revolves around:
📍 Venture Clienting 2.0 & Corporate Innovation Frameworks
📍 AI (ethics, adoption, emerging risks)
📍 Climate Resilience, Risk Futures & Sustainability Transformation
📍 The Future of Work (where humans + tech thrive together)

Beyond Alchemy Crew:

Helping Founders and CEOs to build a personal voice I "Upwork and LinkedIn Girl"

iGaming is a tough industry to break into.

Most companies want 8+ years of experience writing casino reviews, bonus promotions, and affiliate content.

That’s why Gen Z writers rarely consider iGaming—there’s no room for newcomers.

And let’s be real—not everyone is generous to teach you from zero.

But I got lucky.

Sept 2023, I was hired via Upwork by an iGaming B2B company.

They trusted me to create content for their LinkedIn profiles.
↳But more than that, they invested their time in teaching me the industry’s terminology, trends, and strategies.

And trust me, I didn’t take it for granted.

Now, I want others to have the same chance I did.

That’s why I’m sharing everything I’ve learned about iGaming.
Cuz let’s be honest—breaking into this industry without prior knowledge is HARD.
(not impossible, just hard)

But if you know how to tell good stories and craft content—there’s always a room for you.

What I’m doing in 2025:

✅ Ghostwriting for iGaming brands on LinkedIn – Casinos, affiliates, B2B iGaming providers
✅ Breaking down what I learn about iGaming – So other writers can enter and grow

If you’re a casino, affiliate, or iGaming service provider, I can help with LinkedIn content.
If you’re a writer looking to break into iGaming, follow along—I’ll be sharing everything I learn.
