About I'm a seasoned CEO, Strategic Partnerships and Business Development Executive, I led Human Digital Registry (HDR), at the forefront of a new generation of digital human identity protection and management. At HDR, we harnessed the power of sophisticated Image/voice capture and Generative AI technologies to empower individuals to own, protect, and manage their digital voice and visual likeness. My background spans over two decades across technology, media, and entertainment, I excel in driving innovation, nurturing growth, and optimizing operations across diverse sectors.

Prior to founding HDR, I spearheaded the Strategic Partnerships, Business Development, and XR GTM team at Samsung Electronics America/SamsungXR. During my tenure, I secured and managed multi-million dollar deals with renowned global brands such as MLB, NFL, NASCAR, Meta, NBC, iHeart Radio, AEG, Paramount, CBS, Disney, Roblox, Twitter, Star Stable, Live Nation, Twitch, Warner Brothers, LiveOne, Caesars Entertainment, and The Nederlander Organization, to name a few. My role involved navigating the intersection of emerging technologies and content creation, laying the groundwork for the digital human replication revolution.
