About

Background

Professional Experience

I have 13+ years of experience building and leading companies in the $10M to $200M in revenue. My core expertise is business strategy, operations and Finance. 

Im currently on the board for Pridevel where i guide the development of AI enabled products and leading strategic initiatives for Native American tribes in infrastructure, banking, and AI ventures with a focus on strategic finance, regulated capital planning, and long-term revenue growth.

A recent infrastructure project entailed incubating a new tech company within the Pechanga Band of Indians, involving the plans and finance to construct a $70M data center (Phase 1) along with supplemental energy. 

In my most recent corporate role, I lead Operations. Finance and Business Strategy for a business unit within Jellysmack (a $3B valued unicorn in media and the Creator Economy). I also built a crypto NFT marketplace product for Jellysmack on the Ethereum / Polygon blockchain – enabling the tokenized sales of back catalog royalties.

I’ve partnered with Exactius and Private Equity firms to drive business growth in half a dozen growth stage companies between $100M- $200M in annual revenue, via data analytics, product experiments and business operation improvements. The companies i worked with include Omaze, PuppySpot, TodayTix, PopSockets and a private Political Organization.

I have launched a CPG startup- Sweet Karma from the New Venture Challenge accelerator, grown a media agency KreatorKarma, and lead a enterprise software company (as the CEO’s right hand) and build products for the Hotel industry while partnering with leading tech firms like CISCO, IBM, and HeadSpin.

 

Education

I have an MBA from University of Chicago Booth School of Business, with a concentration in Strategy, Finance, Marketing and Entrepreneurship and a B.S. in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence from University of Southern California. I also have an AI Engineering Professional Certification from IBM along with a Data Science Professional Certification also from IBM. I did my growing up very far away from the US in a very small private boarding school in the foothills of the Himalayas before my family moved to New York City when I was 12.

What do people say about me

About
  • During the initial pitches of the New Venture Challenge, we didnt think his venture would go far – I mean, how does an ice cream brand compete with hi-tech and fin-tech ventures in today’s investment world. The very fact that he made it to the investment round was sheer persistence and because he willed it to be. Every time we (the investors) raised a criticism, he would gather the data to prove us wrong – earning his spot on the podium.

  • Karm and his team have been our quarterback all the way.

    During our technology deployment, they are so knowledgable and available that we don’t even need to know how this technology works on the back end. We’re ready to go!
