I’m a builder. I have a knack for bringing the right people together to accomplish big things and take companies to the next level. I aim to bring out the best in the leaders, partners and investors I work with, motivating through unknowns and never shying away from finding the right inspirational quote to rally the troops. I bring a founder mentality into everything I do, learning and growing through the ups and downs along the way. As FDR once said, "Smooth seas never made a skillful sailor." Specialities: commercializing new technology, leadership recruiting and development, messaging/communications, and driving strategic deals (partnerships, fundraising, M&A)
