Experience

1. Chief Innovation Officer

   Youngminds.App

   Jan 2026 — Present

   I stepped into this role not because I sought it, but because the work demanded it. As CIO, I architect the strategic vision for learning innovation at YoungMinds.app — shaping how we design K-12 learning experiences that are gamified, emotionally resonant, and built around real child psychology rather than curriculum compliance. What this looks like in practice:Leading cross-functional strategy across R&D, Sales, Marketing, and the Mentor team to ensure our product vision and market reality stay alignedBuilding and mentoring a high-performance team that iterates, experiments, and reflects, treating every initiative as a live data pointChampioning a human-centered work culture that I\'ve watched become our biggest competitive advantageDriving the development of InnovationLand — a children\'s innovation program built on four core future-ready skills: empathy, creativity, agility, and critical thinking The most important thing I\'ve built here isn\'t a product. It\'s a culture where failing feels like learning and growing feels sustainable.
