With a deep expertise in corporate innovation, venture capital, and startup ecosystems, I bring over a decade of experience leading high-impact programs and scaling operations across multiple sectors. Currently serving as the Director of Innovation & Partnerships at VentureFuel, I lead the strategy and execution of accelerator programs for Fortune 500 clients, such as Comcast NBCUniversal and Dick’s Sporting Goods, managing a large client portfolio and spearheading initiatives to foster startup collaboration and strategic growth. My role includes strategic client management, advising startups, sourcing innovation, and managing a network of 500+ enterprise leaders and investors.Previously, as COO of ROXBOX Containers, I scaled operations and drove a 10x revenue increase through strategic growth initiatives, process optimizations, and leadership in fundraising. In earlier roles, I served as a Venture Capital Associate at The Fund (now Everywhere Ventures), facilitating early-stage investments and supporting entrepreneur ecosystems, and as Program Manager at WeWork Labs, where I built a collaborative community for startups in Denver.Additionally, I co-founded Tripcents (Techstars Boulder '19), where I drove strategic partnerships, operations, GTM strategy, and fundraising efforts. My background is strengthened by advanced studies in Corporate Innovation & Management from Stanford Graduate School of Business, as well as a B.S. in Finance from the University of Denver. I am passionate about driving innovation, building meaningful partnerships, and delivering impactful solutions that bridge corporate and startup environments.
