San Anselmo, California, United States
I’m a VP at True Ventures, where I lead Follow-on Fundraising for our portfolio and invest in the wild frontier where AI meets climate—think energy, electrification, grid intelligence, and the built environment. I get fired up about both these privileged roles: backing founders building transformative systems for our planet, and helping all our founders raise the capital to scale them with the right partners. Outside the office, I’m exploring the outdoors with my family in our truck camper—snowboarding, kitesurfing, and mountain biking as much as possible. Most importantly, I’m raising a tiny human with the same values we hold dear at True: curiosity, kindness, and a deep care for our planet. Let’s build the future, and make it a livable one.
