The company was profitable and growing faster than the market. We sold Snapfish to HP in April 2005 for $300M.Became a Managing Director at Mayfield Fund in August 2005 - a top silicon valley venture capital fund with over $3B under management. I invested in 14 companies over 7 years in consumer internet/mobile, e-commerce, SMB, online adtech, social, and marketplaces - including early rounds in Lyft, Rubicon Project, Qunar, Fivestars, and Red Beacon. I also sourced Moat.In 2012, I started a new vehicle to cofound companies alongside awesome founders (cofounder.co) and then started and ran one of the companies in 2013 - fitmob - which grew into one of the largest fitness networks in the US in 8 cities. Fitmob joined forces with market leader ClassPass in May 2015 to create the worlds largest fitness marketplace and subscription service operating across 40 cities and 4 countries - I ran international and new supply. I then was a Board Advisor at ClassPass and Venture Advisor at Mayfield Fund. In 2016, I joined Lyft as Chief Strategy Officer. I was responsible for evaluating new business areas outside of the core including our expansion into a Mobility As A Service provider and thenspent most of my time leading the business of Autonomous (self driving) - moving us from a human, gas powered network of cars to a self driving, electric shared fleet. Created the largest self driving service in terms of paid rides, the most partnerships with leaders in the industry, and culminated my tenure with the sale of our self driving R&D division to Toyota for $550M.Now I have created a stealth VC fund focused entirely on addressing planetary challenges including climate change, resource sustainability and a more circular economy.Specialties: Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Strategy, Product Management, Venture Capital investing, General Management, Financing, Marketing, Business Development, & Financial Analysis.

Chief Strategy Officer & Head Of Business, Self DrivingLyft Oct 2016 - Apr 2021San Francisco, Ca, UsI was the Chief Strategy Officer at Lyft for 4 1/2 years. First, I explored new businesses to launch internationally - which morphed into expanding Lyft into a full Mobility As A Service Provider (MaaS) including Transit (a team which I created). Then, I focused most of my time on transforming Lyft from a human driver network of gas powered vehicles to an electric, shared, self driving fleet - to solve congestion, emissions, safety, and affordability. I led the business of Self Driving which included 400+ people developing self driving technology in Palo Alto and a team running our Open Platform where we partnered with the best self driving companies (e.g. Waymo, Motional, more to be announced). I also helped on the Executive Team level on overall and line of business strategy. Milestones include having the largest paid self driving ride program with over 100k rides (pre covid), signing the first long term deployment partnership in the AV industry with Motional, and helping orchestrate the successful sale of our self driving development division (Level 5) for $550M to Toyota's Woven Planet - which reduced $100M in expense, created new revenue streams, and will bring in our profitability date.

A partner joins the company as a cofounder at the earliest stages (either at founding or sometime before funding) and spends the equivalent of one day a week (so they only partner with 4-5 startups at any time) helping in all areas of the company including financing, recruiting, strategy, product development, and mentoring the CEO. As a minority cofounder shareholder in the company, we bring commitment and importantly - valuable experience that high potential entrepreneurs may be missing - either if its their first time being an entrepreneur or because they are seasoned but entering a new sector. The goal is to help the entrepreneur in all key decisions in the company's life - a true cofounder along the way. -
