Founder & CEO
Founder & CEO
I spent nearly three decades building and running Telcom Innovations Group — navigating capital allocation, complex negotiations, and high-stakes decisions through every economic cycle. That experience didn’t just teach me how to run a business. It taught me how to underwrite one.
That discipline is exactly what I bring to Golden Spiral Capital — where I partner with accredited investors who believe wealth built with intention is wealth that endures.
