Bio

I am a co-founder and lead of AIJ Global, a multi-family private investment firm. Through my work, with the help of my team and network, I partner with entrepreneurs to take their ventures to the next level, providing value-creation playbooks, commercial and operational levers, and candid support beyond capital when invited. We focus on ETA (Search Funds) and selective VC in enabling technologies. Our approach is operator-first and institutionally rigorous, characterized by a people-first approach, disciplined underwriting, board-ready reporting, a KPI cadence, and a clear operating rhythm that aligns owners, boards, and management.

I typically work with an operator to acquire and scale a founder-led SMB at a leadership or ownership crossroads, then help modernize governance, strengthen pricing and go-to-market, and upgrade systems, data, and applied AI for forecasting, pricing elasticity, invoice anomaly detection, and everyday automation. I serve as a non-executive director, mentor first-time CEOs, and organize ETA practitioner sessions. I care about transparent decision-making, risk tradeoffs, and reputation dynamics across stakeholders. I’m always happy to exchange practical tools with the Stanford community on operator coaching, cross-pollinating practices across markets, and using technology and data to deliver durable cash flow, broader ownership, and skilled jobs.
