About

Two Active Engagements. Six Markets. One Methodology.

Currently retained as Strategic Consultant at Firsthand Capital Management and Strategic Advisor at H2Unity (Accelerate Hydrogen Energy), providing international business development and strategic advising across private capital and clean-energy ventures.

The through-line across both: building investor intelligence infrastructure where none exists — translating raw conference data, warm introductions, and open-source research into actionable LP profiles, outreach sequences, and fundraising strategy.

A decade of grounded sales and operational experience across banking, project management, international medtech sales, and multi-unit business operations brings an operator's perspective to work most advisors approach purely theoretically. Bilingual English/Spanish — available for retained consulting, advisory board positions, and international BD engagements across LATAM, Europe, and the Middle East.
