Helping builders achieve the impossible | 8 years scaling Tesla through hypergrowth | Advisor & mentor to the next generation of operators

About Me

I spent 8 years at Tesla during its most transformative period—from scrappy startup energy to $100B+ annual revenue from the global automotive business. I built things from zero, helped the business scale across 45+ countries, and drove CEO/CFO-level strategy on some of the hardest problems the company faced.
What I learned: You can scale deep-tech through chaos. You can make the impossible happen. You can love what you do. And the frameworks that work aren’t magic—they’re teachable and replicable.
Now I'm focused on helping the next generation of operators build in a world changing faster than ever—and exploring what I build next.
