Global Corporate Venturing Rising Stars 2026

I’m honored to be named to Global Corporate Venturing’s Top 50 Rising Stars list for 2026.

This recognition celebrates the top 2% of early-career professionals in corporate venturing, those with less than five years of experience who are making their mark through strong deal sourcing, execution and investment skills.

None of this would have happened without the incredible people I work with. I’m grateful for their support, collaboration, and shared drive to push healthcare innovation forward.

A special thanks to Paul Yoo for nominating me. Paul, your exceptional guidance, unwavering support, and belief in my potential have been instrumental to this milestone, my growth and many other achievements. I’m deeply grateful for everything you’ve done.

Coming from a founder background, this milestone feels especially meaningful as I continue advancing the next generation of healthcare technologies.
