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:
📍 Co-editor of the bestselling INSURTECH Book

Head of Marketing & Growth | Digital Marketer & Trainer | Product Innovation & Marketer | Speaker | Digital Marketing Specialist

A Digital Marketing Specialist, taking care of Social Media, Content Management, and Search Engine Optimization, and also helping with Brand building, Partnerships, and Growth Marketing.

When I was 21, I ran my first Full Marathon (41.2 Kms). Not metaphorically—I literally covered my first and longest run in my life.

While I was running, I thought about quitting approximately 5,000 times. (And that’s a lowball estimate.) But despite the high-density sunlight, less practice, mental and physical fatigue, and healthy snacks overdose, I kept going. I’m that person. Once I say I’ll do something, it will happen.

Now, I put that perseverance to work as a Digital Marketer for various clients and also being efficient enough to get into the skin of Digital Marketing Training Programs simultaneously. I don’t have to climb any mountains…but I do have to move them as a Growth Hacker.

A Digital Marketer with experience in corporate, start-ups, and freelancing environments. 

Manage digital marketing campaigns as a digital marketing specialist, in relation to Social Media, Search Engine Optimization, Content Marketing, Webinar Marketing, and E-Mail Marketing

I’m well-versed with various Digital Marketing Training Programs & Development and Digital Strategies.
