New York, New York, United States
I’m currently investing in startups at Proximity Ventures, a multi-stage strategic venture fund. Previously I was the Co-founder and CEO of Street FC, a venture-backed startup + global football brand. As CEO, I grew the business to millions in revenue and led partnerships with major brands including Nike and TikTok. We've hosted over 20K games are the largest street soccer community in the world. Prior to that, I spent five years at JAY-Z’s Roc Nation, where I was Senior Vice President of their venture fund. I invested over $70 million into early-stage companies like Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD), Sweetgreen (NYSE: SG), SpaceX, Epic Games, MSCHF, and Ethos Life - working closely with founders on brand strategy, G2M + strategic partnerships. I’ve held senior leadership roles at both venture-backed startups and major media companies, and consider myself a strategic thinker, talented communicator, and teammate you can count on to deliver.
