I help scale startup & growth-stage companies through entrepreneurial finance, strategy, and operations leadership with 4x experience as the #1 finance and strategy leader from zero to $40m in revenue and 1x as the #2 finance and strategy leader up to and beyond $200m. I seek to partner with founder/CEOs and their leadership team to drive consistent, profitable growth through: 1) customer-focused innovation, 2) a robust, mission- and values-focused culture, 3) stage-appropriate operational efficiency, and 4) the right capital structure with like-minded investors. Every company is different and requires a different playbook, but those business needs are truly consistent. I've executed through challenging capital structures, GTM pivots, digital transformations, and near-insolvency to build thriving businesses, and I bring experience from both product & engineering and sales & marketing to make finance/ops/strategy more relevant to executive leadership. My executive track record includes WellSaid, Cordial (Series C+), Rhythm (acquired by strategic), Counsyl (acquired by strategic), Rustic Pathways (acquired by PE), and Valassis Digital (PE-owned) with leadership experience across finance, operations, legal, corporate strategy & corporate development, commercial negotiations, and shorter stints overseeing people & culture, product & engineering, marketing, and business development. I have also led both buy-side and sell-side M&A all the way through integration, and prior to working in operating roles, I spent time at The Carlyle Group in venture capital and growth equity, at Morgan Stanley in internet equity research, and at Citi in technology M&A investment banking.In my personal time, I enjoy snowboarding, hiking, writing & illustrating, film & animation, and videogame history.
