Over the past 30 years, my career includes being a venture capitalist, entrepreneur and operator, board member, and mentor/advisor. These experiences span across the technology and software spectrum, with domain expertise in digital media and programmatic marketing, healthcare IT and healthcare services, as well as the wireless areas. I have invested across early and late stage venture, growth equity, and secondary investments. This includes Board Directorships with >10 private companies, as well as strategic advisory work at the Board and operating levels. My pursuit and passion is helping disruptive technologies and ideas to scale commercially. Pairing this venture capital and operating experience with long-standing ties to Yale, I'm now Managing Partner at Blue Ivy Ventures, a venture fund for Yale alums to invest in alumni related businesses.
