Bio Summary
As the Chief Growth Officer at ICAS World, a Lyra Health company, I lead the international finance and corporate development functions, which oversees all of strategic finance initiatives, acquisitions, pricing, and provider network economics, with the goal of enhancing the company's mission of providing access to mental health support for millions of people.
With over 18 years of experience in financial services, investing and corporate strategy I have closed deals of an aggregate value of US$2BN+, across multiple sectors and four continents. I am passionate about leveraging my international expertise in M&A, deal negotiations and execution, and strategic finance to generate value for organizations that have a clear tangible impact on people and the communities they live in. As an edtech and healthtech investor and a certified board director, I also support and advise innovative and scalable ventures that address the challenges and opportunities in these sectors.
I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative, and dynamic work environments that are driven by the willingness to constantly grow and learn. I hold an MBA from Harvard Business School. I am an aspiring non-executive director (NED).
