Summary

I grew up in the paint business — learned it hands-on, ran it top to bottom, and gave it a modern edge with design, AI tools, and smart marketing. I also have a solid finance background with experience in equity and derivatives. Now, I’m ready to step into a bigger, faster environment where I can learn, contribute, and grow in the world of coatings and resins.
