I'm a seasoned Operations & Product Officer with 15+ years experience in software and wellness startups. I've led teams as large as 500, overseeing complex software product management for both B2B and B2C models. Thrivng in high-stress environments and solving complex problems has helped me scale multiple startups. As a co-founder and CPO/CTO, I successfully scaled a startup to a $40M valuation, securing high-profile clients such as General Motors and Fulbright. I built four successful software platforms from vision to market, serving over 250,000 users. My career highlights include founding and scaling three startups, developing a fitness app with more than 50,000 users, and leading the creation of a $10M aviation lab for the US Air Force Academy.
