    Experience
    Spring Labs
    Spring Labs
    Co-Founder 2018 - Present (over 8 years)
    I'm responsible for sales, partnerships, marketing, and corporate strategy initiatives at Spring Labs.

    Spring Labs is transforming the financial services industry by... more creating a more transparent, secure, and consumer-centric "rails" for exchanging information. We aim to increase access to credit for unbanked and thin file consumers using the blockchain-based Spring Protocol. Since inception, we've partnered with 30+ of the largest fintechs, lenders, and banks to turn our vision into a reality.
    Founding Team / EVP Strategy & Sales

    Elemetric (Techstars '17)
    Founder, CEO
    In the earliest days of blockchain, Elemetric was building software to enable enterprise applications to function by creating a much needed "API layer" that was absent (and... more still largely is) in native blockchain platforms. This deficiency (in my opinion) is still one of the largest drivers in the lack of adoption of public blockchain-based applications.
    IDEO
    IDEO
    EIR / IDEO Futures 2016 - 2017 (5 months)
    I served as an entrepreneur-in-residence and my company, Elemetric, was a startup-in-residence with IDEO's CoLab. The original idea came from an exploration of "what was missing"... more to promote mass blockchain adoption in the early days of the industry.
    Sabbatical
    Sabbatical
    Founder, CEO
    I co-founded Sabbatical in 2015 in the early days of the co-living space, when co-working was just starting to gain mass adoption. We set up our HQ in San Juan Puerto Rico... more and opened our fist location, hosting 50+ startup employees in our first months of operation. Lack of infrastructure, the Zika virus epidemic, and other externalities ended up halting our operation. We were quite early in an industry that is just starting to take off in 2018 and beyond.
    Belly
    Belly
    Head of Data Science / Marketing
    I joined as part of the early team at Belly and oversaw data science, analytics, and technical product management at Belly.

    Belly (now Hatch) is a payments and point-of-sale... more loyalty platform that raised $25mm from Andreessen Horowitz, NEA, Lightbank, and more to revolutionize how small businesses interact with their customers. We signed up 10k+ small businesses (coffee shops, restaurants, etc.) and landed enterprise deals (7-Elevens nationwide) in the early days of the business.
    Red Hat
    Red Hat
    Employee
    I joined Red Hat early in my career and worked in corporate strategy with a focus on data/analytics.

    Red Hat is the most successful and valuable open source software... more company in history, paving the way for every other open source initiative (Docker, Github, etc.). Red Hat commercialized the Linux operating system as a core product, and built a large ecosystem of enterprise-ready applications. Red Hat sold to IBM in 2019 for $34b in the largest tech acquisition deal of all-time.
