What do you attribute your success to?
My success is rooted in hard work, curiosity, and an early decision to pursue excellence in whatever room I was in—whether as a first-year associate learning the basics of IP valuation or as the co-founder of a consulting firm leading complex global matters. From the beginning of my career in 2016, I consistently sought out challenging engagements and industries, using each case as an opportunity to deepen my technical skills in economics, data analytics, and intellectual property.
