About

Achievements

I'm an energetic 0-1 and 1-n operator with over 10 years of building and executing for early-stage startups. I am a Swiss Army knife who has led operations on a shoestring budget, spearheaded fundraising campaigns, built partnerships, and driven growth strategies to scale businesses. I feel most alive navigating uncertainty, integrating new learnings, coaching team members, and fostering a culture of innovation and resilience. In addition to unknotting complex problems, I love surfing big waves and racing classic Porsches. I believe that the chaos of these pursuits trivializes the chaos of daily life and venture building, enabling a calm and measured approach to any challenge.
