About me

I am a community-led growth strategist, ecosystem builder, VC advisor, and entrepreneur with hands-on experience building startups, including two failed ventures and one successful exit (SheSapiens). As the founder of Female Founders Breakfast, I scale global founder communities and in-person events across four continents, creating spaces rooted in trust, connection, and collaboration. As a venture coach across multiple incubators, I help startups grow through community as a go-to-market strategy, while advising on investor relations, dealflow, and strategic partnerships. I also connect startups with the right investors and support solo founders in generating sales and visibility through authentic personal branding. My mission is to help build successful businesses powered by human connection, belonging, and long-term impact.
