As a Multiple-time CEO, COO, CMO, and VP of Sales, I have a passion for growing tech startups to reach their full potential. Either as a founder or early member of the exec team, I have provided leadership across all market-facing functions including Sales, Marketing, Business/Corporate Development, Product Management, and Customer Success. The positive environment I foster for every team I work with confirms my strong commitment to employee and organization development. My experience scaling out these functions within all organizations I have been a part of has resulted in proven success, including 2 IPO’s and 7 other successful exits.I believe in the importance of analytics as a key tool in steering organizational innovation and digital transformation. From AI to BI to ML to IoT, the capabilities found in the power of analytics drives changes in the way the world works, and most of the companies I work with are innovating in analytics as a key component of their product strategy.Besides raising money for the companies I work with, I am also a venture investor myself. I am an LP in several VC funds, and have a deep understanding of the way VCs and investors assess and manage their companies. I have served as a director on 8 boards, both as an investor and in an operating capacity, and I I bring these insights to work with my board and investors in an operating role. I have lived in the Bay Area since I moved here to attend Stanford. I’m an enthusiastic cyclist and have completed over 20 Century rides and 5 international cycling trips. I also enjoy giving back to the community, and love to get my kids involved in programs like Save the Bay Clean Up Days, sponsoring water wells in Africa, and painting the Gratitude wall in the photo above.
