Investor & Managing Partner at S Ventures | Backing bold entrepreneurs | former Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company

Dear All, At the end of last year, I left McKinsey & Company after 18 years of tremendous professional and personal growth, to pursue my passion for investing in bold founder teams and helping them turn transformative ideas into reality. With deep gratitude, I would like to say thank you: To "my" Firm – you never felt like work, you always felt like a home. Serving distinctive clients, building countless friendships, and working with so many extraordinary colleagues around the world have shaped me profoundly. It has truly been the honor of my life. Thank you for everything! To my Clients – thank you for your trust, the opportunity to serve you and jointly create impact, and the many professional relationships that became lasting friendships, well beyond my tenure at the Firm. Watching your continued progress and impact fills me with deep joy. Thank you for letting me be part of your journey! To my Family & Friends – your love and support mean the world to me. Thank you for having my back throughout these years and supporting me in all of my endeavors! To "my" Founder Teams - it's been a privilege to work with you over the past 8 months, your journeys deeply inspire me. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your story!
