Updated September 12, 2025
Born in Australia, based in London, working with teams everywhere inbetween.
I'm currently leading product and design at Brava Finance, where we’re building the stablecoin infrastructure layer for managing the emerging $2T credit market.

Previously, I've helped launch AI-native education and health tools, led product and design teams building an onchain pension administration platform, and supported multiple founders across Startmate and Folklore’s portfolio as both an operator and advisor.
After hours, I'm building Ghost, an AI-powered platform that automates compliance and conducts realistic, multi-channel social engineering simulations to deliver adaptive security training.
I love creating highly polished products that delight users and reimagine how we interact with technology.
