and As Founding GTM Lead at com, I'm building the growth engine for one of the most credentialed immigration teams in the country: Harvard Law, Oxford, Georgetown, ex-Meta, and former S. consular officers with 1,000+ extraordinary ability cases between them. 100% O-1 approval I came to the S. on a J-1. Spent 18 months without leaving the country while waiting. Got my green card while I was building Funden. The anxiety, the late-night research, the uncertainty. I've been there. That's why this work means something to Before Extraordinary, I was an Account Executive at Deel immigration, where I helped 150+ founders and high-skilled tech workers navigate their visa Before that, I was the first hire at Funden, a fundraising advisory platform.

Funden was acquired by FE International, where I became Director of I co-host founder events with YC, a16z Speedrun, Draper University, and others across the Bay If you're an immigrant founder planning a move to the , or an H-1B holder exploring O-1A or EB-1A as a faster path, DM me.

I help international founders get the visas they need to build in the U.S.: O-1A extraordinary ability, EB-1A green cards, and the paths in between. I run discovery calls in English, Spanish, and French with founders at every stage, from pre-seed to Series A. I navigated U.S. immigration myself before joining the team, so I know what the wait feels like from the inside.
