Bats have been unfairly vilified for centuries, forcing them down a path towards endangerment. With BatBnB, a line of designer bat houses, we are rewriting the narrative surrounding this critically misunderstood animal. To date, we've provided safe homes to over 750,000 bats and educated millions towards a newfound respect for the value they bring to our ecosystem.We sold over $100,000 of pre-orders in the first phase of our crowdfunding campaign with no traditional marketing budget and went on to pitch our product on the stage of ABC's Shark Tank, receiving an offer from acclaimed investor Kevin O'Leary. We've been featured in Forbes 30u30, Fast Company, HuffPost, Entrepreneur, NPR's How I Built This, and CBS’s Emmy-winning series Innovation Nation. We're proud to have received product endorsements from the world’s leading bat experts as well as UN Environment Goodwill Ambassador, Adrian Grenier. Today we continue to innovate with new product lines looking to shine a light on other misunderstood critters... BugBnB anyone?

MakeTime was one of Kentucky's most venture capital backed tech startups, with notable investors including the Foundry Group and Autodesk. MakeTime was acquired by MD based competitor, Xometry. I managed a team of sales & customer service professionals to support clients in leveraging MakeTime's automated manufacturing platform to streamline the procurement and production of CNC machined parts. I ran business operations pertinent to the adoption of a new Salesforce instance, including the design of the opportunity-flow architecture and an automated lead nurturing program. I also supported the implementation of a supplier benefits program based on partnerships with companies like Dell and Sandvik Cormorant.

Udemy for Business is Udemy's B2B online-course subscription offering a unique and modern corporate learning experience. I managed the strategic development and curation of the B2B content library.

I was on a three-person team responsible for the G2M roll-out of Udemy for Business when it first launched; we were the start-up inside of the start-up. My primary responsibilities included the acquisition and retention of key clients such as IBM, Lyft, Oracle, Optimizely, and Goldman Sachs. In parallel, I played the role of an ad-hoc product manager by curating and tripling the size of the course library, as well as ad-hoc customer success manager by ensuring successful client launches.
