A little about me

I'm based in the San Francisco Bay Area, but my work is global. I've partnered with teams from São Paulo to Tokyo, London to Beijing, Pittsburgh to Seattle, and plenty of places in between.

I was a founding executive at two companies that were acquired. I also advised two others that eventually got there. There's nothing quite like the feeling of locking in with a team to create something great.

I've led Product, Growth, Marketing, and PR. That range has taught me to see the whole picture: what to build, why people will care, and how to get it into their hands.

Before my career in tech, I taught high school in Jamaica for a year. I still love that kind of exchange. Whether I'm working with students at Carnegie Mellon and Northwestern or advising people earlier in their careers, every conversation feels reciprocal.

Outside of work, I travel whenever I can. I love the possibility, connection, and perspective that come with being somewhere different. I'm also fascinated by how great products and technology can make travel even better.

Seeing startups become acquisitions, new products become businesses, and ambitious ideas become reality teaches you something. So does watching quiet teams turn into the ones the business runs on. Colleagues describe what I bring as hard-won optimism. They're not wrong.

Most breakthroughs look uncertain before they look inevitable.
