About
Generally, I am interested in another product position. I am interested in all stages, even very early stages as long as the company has a good run rate. I could also consider being a co-founder but would have to evaluate the opportunity very carefully. I generally like Fintech a lot, but I am interested in the health sector. I would like to be able to work with AI.
