With over 25 years of experience in the technology, e-commerce, venture capital, and private equity sectors, I am the Managing Partner Co-Founder of Wheelhouse Partners, a leading Venture Debt and Private equity firm that helps great companies achieve their full potential. Unlike traditional venture debt firms that rely on financial engineering, Wheelhouse Partners leverages proprietary digital content marketing, sales, and data science play-books to help our companies drive profitability and growth. Wheelhouse also owns and operates businesses of our own. There is not a problem we have not either seen or caused in one of our own companies that you won't encounter in growing your business. My passion is to empower entrepreneurs and innovators with the capital, resources, and guidance they need to thrive in the digital economy. I have a proven track record of investing in and advising several successful startups in the mobile and software sectors, such as PubNub, Appcelerator, Automat.ai, and NatureBox, where I served as the CEO and Executive Chairman. I have a deep operating background in enterprise software technology, e-commerce, marketing, and sales, spanning various domains such as cloud computing, online advertising, mobile solutions, and CPG. I was an early executive at Netscape Communications, joining pre-IPO, and a Managing Director at Oracle Corporation. I hold an MBA from UC Berkeley Haas School of Business, and a BA in Legal Studies from UC Berkeley.
