    About
    Achievements

    I consistently find success by building relationships and deeply understanding others. Most recently, I generated $2M in pipeline value in my first 10 weeks as the only salesperson at a 60-person, Sequoia-backed startup. In venture capital at F-Prime, I consistently led the team in quality deals sourced and built a reputation such that I was asked to continue investing even after leaving to attend business school at Stanford. 6 months out of undergrad, working in a hierarchical, big company I sourced a consulting project by building earning the trust of the head of a major business unit.
