I am an Engineer, a Liberal Arts Major, and have an MBA from Oxford Uni. I am currently an early-stage venture investor in the UK.

The Close Call show helps you learn from others' crucial mistakes and pivotal decisions so you don't repeat the mistakes. The show brings to light ideas and tips from industry leaders, operators, founders and investors.

Please like, share, subscribe to support so i am motivated to keep going 😎
