Starting conversation…

I’m Head of GTM Strategy at Tavus — a platform that lets you build AI replicas that look, sound, and converse like real people in real time. It feels like science fiction, come to life!

In my role I cover everything from top-of-funnel growth to customer success and expansion, with a focus on finding the verticals where Tavus creates the most value:

  • Training & onboarding, (new employees or on-going learning)
  • Sales enablement (top or bottom of funnel)
  • Customer support
  • Interactive research surveys
  • and Social / parasocial companionship. (i.e. seniors & celebrity use cases)

If any of those spark something, reach out — I’d love to chat!


Background

Born in China, raised in the San Francisco Bay Area as a first-generation immigrant. Started my career at Goldman Sachs, spent three years at a hedge fund, then got my MBA at MIT Sloan. (More)

At MIT I co-founded DeepBench — a platform connecting people with domain experts — which was acquired in 2024. I also co-founded FM Ventures, a venture studio building technology solutions with customers.

I enjoy learning, writing, and playing poker. Here are some of my essays.
