BOARD MEMBER. CEO. MUSICIAN. MONK.
My life is proof that luck, trial and error, and a good WiFi connection can take you far! I’ve lived many lives—homeless to Harvard Square, musician to multi-millionaire, mathematician to CEO. Each has shaped how I love, lead, and learn.
After holding C-level roles across strategy, revenue, and operations, including CEO of the 20th fastest-growing tech companies in the US, I feel all those lives seem to connect to a larger purpose.
Some companies I served or led hit it big, creating over $40B in value, while others failed spectacularly. Failure is a much better teacher.
Whether I was an Equity Analyst on Wall Street at a Tier One Investment Bank or performing in 1,000+ concerts worldwide, I was learning the same lessons—just from different teachers.
For years, I jogged across the Mass Ave Bridge, staring at the MIT Dome, hoping I’d belong there. Eventually, I did—even while single-handedly bringing the class IQ down! I hold an MBA from MIT and a Master’s in Mathematics & Computing from Northeastern.
But all I ever wanted to be was a monk. I left home, went to the Himalayas, and lived in an ashram as one.
Today, I serve on boards and advise top AI startups, private equity firms, and CEOs on growth—both in business and in life. I also love helping ambitious professionals scale success without losing themselves along the way.
We’re all Monks!
