I am a Partner and Co-Founder at Serent Capital, a leading growth equity firm that invests in software and tech-enabled businesses across various sectors. With over 20 years of experience in private equity and venture capital, I have a deep understanding of the opportunities and challenges that growth companies face in today's dynamic and competitive market.I have successfully invested in and supported over 30 portfolio companies, helping them achieve their full potential through strategic guidance, operational excellence, and organizational development. Prior to co-founding Serent, I led the West Coast Private Equity Practice at McKinsey & Company, where I worked with several leading private equity firms and their portfolio companies, advising them on topics such as strategy, organization, sales, marketing, product, pricing, and mergers & acquisitions. During my tenure, I helped the practice grow by over 60% annually and delivered exceptional results for my clients. I hold an MBA from Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, where I was an Arjay Miller Scholar (Top 10%), and a BS in Electrical Engineering, summa cum laude, from the University of Michigan. I am also passionate about solving ME/CFS, a debilitating and poorly understood disease, and serve as an emeritus board member of the Solve ME/CFS Initiative.
