I partner with founders to scale their products, teams, and revenue. In a previous life, I did this as an operator and an exec, now I do it as a coach to founders. I believe technology can make the world better and I want to help enable and support the audacious founders building those companies.Operator:At Scribd, I focused on scaling our people, products, and revenue to triple our team and more than double revenue. As an executive at Square, I led growth, launched new channels and products, and supported 5x'ing our processing from $2B to $10B. Before Square, I ran product and operations for the Slide team at Google and focused on building consumer products at the intersection of mobile, social, and local. At Slide, I led most of our revenue-focused efforts and wore many hats. Before Slide, I managed business development and sales for a national investment firm.Investor:I was a GP at Matrix for a few years where I invested in 7 companies and sat on 3 boards; working with founders on marketplaces, hardware + software, payments, and alternative labor forces. Over the past decade, I've invested in over 100 companies and am an LP in ~10 funds.Specialties: communication, people management, compensation and incentive design, growth, product management, monetization, business development, risk, SMBs, competitive strategy, business strategy, partnerships, payments, contract negotiation, user acquisition, social media, game mechanics, licensing, public speaking, competitive analysis, sponsorship management, training, new product initiatives.
