Building automations and AI products for funds
Final year ESCP MiM student. I spent my gap year in the tech ecosystem, working in two investment funds — as an investor and operator. I'm always happy to connect — feel free to reach out.

About
Now
I'm a final-year MIM student at ESCP. Alongside my studies, I've always found myself pulled towards building things — first with a student team, where we raised €200k to design, build and ship a tunnel boring machine to Vegas for a competition organised by The Boring Company, then worked part-time as an operator at Noa Technologies, a SF startup.
During my gap year, I went deeper into tech and investing. At Newfund (seed VC), I worked as an operating analyst, working directly with founders on operating missions and shipping automations across portfolio companies. I then joined Hexa Scale on the investment side — sourcing, analysing opportunities, and running due diligence on European vertical SaaS. Along the way, I took the initiative to build Scale Sourcing: an AI-powered platform that streamlines the sourcing process, rates opportunities, and automates outreach. It's now used by the entire team.
I'm now looking to keep working at the frontier — across operations, product, strategy, and automation — in environments where things move fast and building actually matters.
