Summary

I am an entrepreneur driven by a deep passion for innovation and a strong commitment to integrity. Guided by the motto "entrepreneur with innovation power and heart," I draw inspiration from Nikola Tesla's visionary ideals and strive to champion groundbreaking ideas that positively impact the world. With a robust academic background in aerospace and electrical engineering and significant professional experience, including at McKinsey & Company, I have founded multiple successful companies. As a descendant of the inventor of ABS technology, I have nearly 500 patents registered with my name. My philosophy centers on fostering fair collaboration between inventors and corporations. I am also a partner in a start-up accelerator, an angel investor, and a mentor.
