I am a startup growth executive and investor with a track record of leading pivotal brand storytelling, product-market alignment, new addressable audiences, and revenue innovation — having started my career with high-agility internal task forces at Fortune 100 companies before transitioning to institutional funds and later into the startup ecosystem. As the first commercial hire at Therabody and later the Co-Founder/CMO of the supply chain marketplace Apastra, I have led growth and strategy functions to drive impactful milestones and exit events. Most recently, I was Partner and VP of Corporate Strategy at the AI eCommerce lab Demand.io, driving product-led growth and evaluating new venture opportunities.Presently, I am VP of Growth at the popular p2p lending platform SoLo Funds and a frequent advisor on active venture deals in consumer, health, fitness, and climate.I studied at UC Berkeley with an honors thesis examining the globalization of consumerism and at London Business School for the MBA. In an ongoing commitment to the education ecosystem, I served two terms as President of the Berkeley-Haas Alumni Network of Los Angeles (Chapter of the Year in 2021-2022) and as a founding board member of the MBA Collective of Southern California.Beyond professional endeavors, I'm a certified Rescue Diver who had surveyed coral reefs around the world on critical marine conservation projects. I also worked with animal rescue operations to build donor relations in addition to volunteering as a rehabilitation therapist for abused dogs, helping them to rebuild trust for successful transitions with permanent families. In my leisure you'll find me skiing, playing beach volleyball, or getting demolished on the rugby pitch. I proudly add a new sport into my repertoire every calendar year (currently working on boxing), and I was a live vocalist at piano bars in New York before years of adventures took its toll on my voice.
