Built Awari from zero to 20,000+ learners and a successful exit. Stayed post-acquisition to serve as VP and later CPO at Fluency Academy, a General Atlantic-backed language learning company. Now focused on investing. Currently Chairman at Aurora (EA service trusted by leaders at Nielsen, Meta, DocuSign etc) and Chef (Brazil's #1 personal chef subscription).
