I'm a founder and CEO based in LA. I started my career in investment banking in Chicago and London at JPMorgan and parlayed my understanding of finance and storytelling mastery into starting my own company, Sagely Naturals, which sold in 2021 to a publicly traded competitor. I now advise and consult with entrepreneurs who are on the founder journey building incredible products. I specialize in driving operational excellence, leading finance and accounting teams, developing new sales channels and products, and maximizing operational efficiency. My co-founding experience with Sagely reinforced my belief in the power of partnership and collaboration, inspiring me to establish Casa Verde Ventures— I partner with solo founders to grow and shape their companies toward successful exits.I thrive on helping founders navigate fundraising challenges, stand out in crowded marketplaces, and set clear strategic paths for their businesses. Currently, I serve as a board member for BetterLogiq, an AI-driven demand forecasting platform, and as an advisor to several female-founded CPG startups."Starting a business is the hardest thing I've ever done. Having to do it alone is unthinkable."
