I have "the personal gravity to bring people together". (h/t Christopher Celeste)I’ve worn many hats including product development, sales and business development, partnerships, customer success, recruiting, and people operations in software, consulting, healthcare IT, consumer mobile, and non-profit. I help found or am hired by the CEO. I excel in ambiguity, building version zero, and attracting + empowering the best people for scale. A key success condition is a long leash to leverage my creativity, network, and judgment to deliver outcomes.I thrive when I work on top organizational priorities where I can get signal fast, then apply people and resources to sustain and grow. I enjoy surface area ranging from strategy at 30k feet to tactical on-the-ground, often in the same day.I love championing missions I deeply internalize, when I am building something new, leading and maximizing other humans, and when I can leverage my network. I have a unique ability to generate momentum and value across a broad array of areas and attract and place the right people to operationalize.Today I am a generalist leader. I also spend a small part of my time on my business Dark Matter.I have led in 0->1 and growth phases:► 3->75 employees, $0->$10M revenue► 175->600 employees, $85M->$250M revenue► 5->18 employees, $0->$4M ARRSome accomplishments I am proud of include: ► At Dynamit I closed the first commercial sale, and several company-changing deals, through my network leading to $10M revenue while also the primary exec tasked with recruiting and culture as we grew from 3 to 75 people.► At Kauffman I funded research for ‘The Lean Startup’ by Eric Ries, stewarded the finalization of our angel investment in AngelList, and wrote the founding grant to Code2040.► At Startup Weekend I was one of the earliest volunteers facilitating first-time events in several cities globally as we scaled, and eventually led the organization through asset sale and dissolution.► At CoverMyMeds I shipped a clinical provider interface feature for payer customers and brought dozens of key leaders and coaches to the company through my network.► At Rise I hired 1/3 of the team from my personal network, introduced our series A lead through my network, and sold the first enterprise deals pre-product-market-fit.---------------------If I've helped you and you're trying to thank me, please consider donating to:--> Nourishing Hope Food Pantry: https://www.nourishinghopechi.org/ways-to-help/-OR- your local food pantry-->Marketplace.org: https://support.marketplace.org/mkp-header
