From a new life to a growing enterprise.

I migrated to Australia 11 years ago and built my career from the ground up in warehousing and logistics. With more than a decade in the industry, I now work as a Head of Operations in cold storage, leading people, processes and business operations.

Alongside that career I've built a portfolio of investment properties and a strong interest in business ownership and investment. I also completed a Master's in Information Technology, combining technology, business and operational experience.

My long-term vision is simple: acquire great businesses, create value, grow investments, and build an enduring empire.
