Bio

Whether you're just launching your business or your business has hit a plateau and you're experiencing burnout, I'm hear to guide you on your path to growth and success. I'm a proven founder with 10+ years of expertise in company building and business growth strategy. In 2020 I launched a digital health startup pioneering hormone health for women.

I help founders in the early stages of their startup in the following areas: - Ideation - Product development & market research - GTM strategy - Bootstrapping - Content marketing - Organic growth to 7 figures in ARR - Fundraising - Pitching & pitch deck optimization Additionally I coach founders on how to build a strong mental foundation as well as personal resilience in order to avoid burnout and maximize their full potential in their entrepreneurial journey.
