At General Catalyst I lead our European resilience thesis with a focus on seed investments. I’m fascinated by technology that tackles hard physical-world problems and explore incubations and other creative approaches in manufacturing, energy and defence.

I began my career at P9 Capital, investing in software. Later I switched sides and founded a field-service software company for renewable-energy installers; Kraken Technologies (Octopus Energy) acquired the business. After the acquisition I ran Kraken’s global implementation team, helping utilities modernise their enterprise tech stack. Building a company from zero to exit shaped my bias toward founder-first thinking and drew me into angel investing.
