Co-founder and CEO of APEN Designs which is a collaborative platform for startups and SMEs, I oversee product/market development along with content creation, as it pertains to business economics issues.

Besides this venture, I consult for private companies, development banks, etc. on the implications of online retail investing, including crowdfunding.

I earned my doctorate in Business Administration in 2011 defending my dissertation, On Venture Capital, which was subsequently published in book form and an individual chapter, Venture Capital Budgeting was also published in Journal of Corporate Finance. Before this, I received my MSc in mathematics and economics with a thesis on Credit Risk and Asymmetric Information.
