Stanford, California, United States
I'm co-founder and CTO of Turboprop, the AI data hub for real estate operators. I was previously a partner at Pear VC, a pre-seed and seed VC firm. I ran the prestigious Pear Accelerator and helped numerous pre-seed and seed-stage startups on their journey. Turboprop is my third startup. I sold my previous company to Dropbox. Once a geek, always a geek - I still like to dive deep and write code when I can. I graduated with an MSEE from Stanford and hold 25+ issued patents. LGBTQ ally.
The AI-powered data hub for all kinds of reporting and asset management. After some initial success we couldn't scale the business. I'm pivoting and working on something new.

Worked to bring Evernote into business. Created, championed and led a product discovery process for an Evernote Business product. Worked to align exec team on the current state of product/market fit, what product/market fit would look like, and a process for getting there. Built a team of very talented product managers in a challenging operating environment. We launched free trials, business accounts, GDPR compliance, sharing and identity improvements, and a new organizational system called Spaces. Ultimately I yearned to return to my startup roots, as I learned how hard it was to change a long-established business.
I joined Dropbox as part of the acquisition of my startup, MobileSpan, in 2014. I conceived, championed, and executed one of the biggest product initiatives we've ever taken at Dropbox: re-thinking the Dropbox Business experience as a collaboration space for teams with granular permissions. As part of this initiative, we launched the new Team Folder to GA in December 2016, enabling us to enter a new market with significant upside. The journey continues.
MobileSpan is "file sharing for the Uncloud." MobileSpan syncs and shares content between on-premises file shares & SharePoint (the "Uncloud") and your workforce's BYOD mobile devices. MobileSpan was acquired by Dropbox in June 2014 to bring its patents, technology, and enterprise product expertise to the nascent Dropbox Business platform.
