AssociateBorn in the Greek suburb of Amarousio, raised in the metropolis of Shanghai, China, I had the pleasure of spending the last decade in Canada across Montreal and Toronto, which I now call home.

Prior to joining White Star, I spent four years at Brightspark Ventures where I covered early stage investments across Canada. Previously, I led the inaugural pre-seed fund at Front Row Ventures in Montreal, where I worked with an incredible team to back 11 founders as their first-cheque investor. I pursued my studies at McGill University, where my curiosities led me to a Bachelors of Computer Science and Microbiology & Immunology.
I’ve found myself enamoured with the game of risk vs. reward and have become an avid poker player in this pursuit. Beyond game theory, I adore the Canadian fall, and spend as much time as I can in the woods and lakes while the leaves turn red, and once the snow falls, I stay close to my racing roots in skiing our hills and mountains.
Working side by side with founders is why I fell in love with venture. I believe White Star’s global approach enables us to support founders even further on the world stage, and to build truly future-defining companies.
Nothing captures my imagination more than a good rabbit hole, and I’ve come to find old internet blogs second-to-none. I give credit to all the anonymous authors that have helped me think in new ways, and hope to find many more to dive into and keep learning from.
