My focus revolves around two essential elements: continuous challenges and learning, coupled with a tangible impact on the society we live in. I believe that these things when woven together meaningfully, create an exciting future – one we can all be a little more optimistic about.
Continuous challenges are the stepping stones that propel us to grow, stretch our capabilities, and perpetually evolve. They keep our minds sharp, our spirits high, and our willpower relentless. As a complement to these challenges, the process of learning unfolds. It’s through this journey of exploration and discovery that our knowledge expands, our horizons broaden, and we find new ways of thinking, problem-solving, and innovating.
Through the discipline of investing in the world’s most exciting technology companies, I seek opportunities that allow me to contribute to this work, use innovation as a tool for betterment, and influence meaningful, positive change. Whether it’s by fostering economic growth, improving quality of life, or advancing technology for the common good, my goal is to leave an indelible imprint on society. This balance of personal evolution and societal impact is the compass guiding my path.
