A serial entrepreneur, I have founded and run a number of technology companies. With a background in startups, strategic consulting, operations management and early stage venture funding, my companies have ranged from a specialty software company to an international consulting firm, which developed a knowledge management platform serving over 2,000 clients in 40 countries and at one time powered eBay’s international AnswerDesk.Through my principle company Arden and individually, I have consulted with hundreds of startups, early stage companies and entrepreneurs as well as served numerous advisory boards. Arden’s current foci are in virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI). Recent projects include the invention of the Espheric 360 VR drone (patent pending), and implementation of an in-house deep convolutional neural network (AI) to enhance historic documents for Arizona State University. I have degrees in philosophy and economics and in 2014 was one of the first coaches added to an elite executive coaching practice with clients from Wall Street to Silicon Valley, which was the official executive coaching firm of the NFL Superbowl Champion Denver Broncos as well as has a direct lineage to Carl Jung. On the volunteer side, I’ve been a SCORE Certified Mentor and in 2017 was the “Mentor for Solutions / Onsite Entrepreneur” at the University of Denver’s Project X-ITE.I love to meet and help fellow entrepreneurs, professionals and executives. As the road to success is littered with numerous obstacles, I strive to be the go-to advisor / the sounding board / the second set of eyes / the co-pilot for my clients reinforcing, growing, and in many cases simply re-discovering the tools and talents they already possess. My diverse experience allows me to help my clients identify, assess and navigate those obstacles, in order to more rapidly and effectively reveal both tactical and strategic paths forward firmly placing my clients on the ultimate road to success.
