About

Achievements

Ran customer acquisition and marketing at Involver (which grew to 1MM+ customers at the time of the acquisition by Oracle in 2012). At Unified, I managed all partner relationships (including Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn) and led the acquisitions of both Awe.sm and Pagelever. I advised Branchout (used by 30MM+ people) and Hired (processed $5B+ in job offers) on growth.

Q&A

What's the most useful business-related book you've ever read?

Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital by Carlota Perez

What's your favorite non-business book?

It hasn't been written yet, but basically a book that combines general life advice with a summary of mental models, a la Farnam Street. I expect Shane Parrish to write it at some point.

If money were not an issue, what would you be doing right now?

I'd be doing exactly what I'm doing now.
