About

I'm an investor based in Luxembourg. In 2016 I co-founded Fabric Ventures to back teams building infrastructure and applications powering the open web.

Before that I spent time on the investment teams at OpenOcean, Mosaic Ventures, Mangrove Capital Partners, and Headline — all early-stage, all European.

I studied Materials Science & Engineering at Imperial College London.
