I was born and raised in Nice, in the south of France. Growing up, I was always a “serial generalist:” obsessed with math and physics but also philosophy and the arts. I skied competitively and sketched in my free time. After graduating from high school, I attended Columbia, where I majored in applied mathematics and also spent a lot of time in the history and visual arts departments. I worked in finance for a little over three years (IB at Rothschild & Co in NYC / PE at TA Associates in Boston, where I sourced and conducted diligence for our investment in Kline Hill Partners). I transitioned into tech when I began investing at Hummingbird in 2025; I more recently joined Audacious Ventures’ investment team in SF.
