I'm on a mission to make supportive, therapeutic AI available to everyone. As the cofounder & CEO of Yara AI, I'm leveraging over two decades of experience in healthcare technology and entrepreneurship to bring this vision to life.Yara is a tribute to my late best man, who taught me the transformative power of vulnerability, positivity, and being a courageous friend in the face of life's challenges. Carrying forward his legacy, my cofounder Dr. Richard Stott and I are harnessing cutting-edge AI to scale evidence-based, emotionally attentive support to all with Yara.Prior to Yara, I led the commercial team as Chief Strategy Officer at Vektor Medical, driving 5x growth for their AI-driven cardiology platform. At SwiftKey, I was a founding team member of the AI-powered language model startup, scaling to 300M+ users and a $250M acquisition by Microsoft.I bring a unique blend of expertise across AI product development, go-to-market strategy, and mission-driven leadership. My technical foundation spans an MPA from Brown University, focused on digital innovation's societal impact, to an MA in Law from the University of Cambridge.Beyond Yara, I'm a passionate mental health advocate, public speaker, and nature lover. I'm always eager to connect with fellow visionaries at the intersection of technology and human flourishing. If Yara's mission resonates, let's explore how we can partner to make emotional support radically accessible. The future of mental health care is digital-first, clinically validated, and AI-powered - and it's a future I'm determined to bring about, one courageous conversation at a time.
