In early 2016 I began actively investing in cryptocurrencies. I helped to co-found Cluster Capital (initially named Private Pre-sales Club) which is a decentralised venture group investing in early-stage distributed technology. In the first six months, we invested over $50M into the top blockchain projects like Polkadot, ICON, Zilliqa, and Blockstack. Cluster Capital provides more than just capital through technical, advisory, and media services.

At Zeplin our mission is to help companies build beautiful products. Every day, I get to work with incredible digital agencies to help them deliver great experiences for their customers, and evangelize Zeplin technology in the process.

Divvy is probably the best example I know of identifying a big pain point and quickly getting to product-market fit. The first time I heard the Divvy pitch, I knew it was going to be something special. As Product Manager and GM of Divvy Capital, I lead a team of designers and engineers to deliver new offerings to our customers. The biggest challenge Divvy customers (small-medium businesses) face is cash flow and access to capital. Divvy Capital offered “instant access to funds for managing cash flow. We offer float, when you need it, in the flow of your business.”It’s been exciting to take Divvy Capital from an idea to one of the most well-loved features of the Divvy experience.

I rode the exciting (and wild) crypto wave at Mainframe helping to fundraise over $25 million in early 2018. I organized our community growth which included over 20 events worldwide and several contests and campaigns which lead to a following of over 200,000 people in about six months. I oversaw various aspects of the business including Finance, Legal, HR, and Strategy. I got our two new offices off the ground (in US and Brazil) and helped recruit and hire a team of 30 people. Wearing my CFO hat, I managed our treasury, created financial forecasts and models, and made sure we operated according to those budgets.

After Microsoft acquired Xamarin, my new role is to bring mobile into every conversation Microsoft has with their customers. Mobile today, is like PCs in the early 2000s - it’s everywhere and a part of everything. I’m speaking at conferences, working with partners, and educating Microsoft internally about the role of mobile in all emerging technologies, with a deep emphasis on blockchain.

In the beginning of 2016, I rediscovered cryptocurrency, specifically Ethereum. I believe that blockchain and crypto-assets will fundamentally transform our world, and I wanted a way to record my learnings and share my findings with others new to the space. I’ve also used Cryptobuzz as an investment group to share ideas, and have been actively investing in cryptocurrencies since early 2016. (This site isn't currently active).

After working at Xamarin in SF for a couple years, they asked me to move to London to help open our new UK office and expand our Partner Program throughout EMEA. I helped grow our UK team from two to 20+ employees, and grew our EMEA Partner Region into the largest region globally comprising over 50% of all partners. I also helped the EMEA team to increase EMEA revenue from 10% to 35% of worldwide sales. One of my biggest lessons learned is understanding the nuances of doing business in the various cultures and countries across Europe.

When I joined Xamarin, we were a Series A startup of about 70 people. My role, as part of the Sales Team, was to onboard Consulting Partners and help them build a successful Xamarin Development Practice. I was the second person on the Partner Team, and we managed a Partner Program of about 50 companies. I helped expand our Partner Program to around 450 Partners globally, and grow our Partner Team to over 20 employees. We were a small part of the sales team, but we consistently overachieved and contributed over 33% of total sales. Throughout my time as a partner manager I achieved an average of 150% of my monthly quota, and helped Xamarin achieve the illusive “triple triple double double” of sales growth before being acquired by Microsoft.

I founded CareSimply in the summer of 2012 with the mission to improve home healthcare. The CareSimply app made it simple to find a caregiver that matched the families’ needs, and by connecting the family and caregiver directly, both sides were better off financially. We onboarded thousands of caregivers who were providing service in various cities throughout California. We had very happy customers, but the explosive growth wasn’t there, learned a lot, and I shut it down to move on to the next adventure.

Sandbox Industries is the crossroads of Venture Capital and Startup Creation. At Sandbox, I was the second hire in the newly opened San Francisco office and my mission was to uncover and analyze new business ideas, and then build rough prototypes to test our hypotheses and grow an idea into an actual company.

Rhomobile is the leading crossplatform mobile development framework. Our tools allow developers to build native apps once, and run them on all major smartphones. I was promoted to BDM to manage our network of Development Partners. I manage partner relationships, onboard new partners, and collaborate with partners to provide app development to end clients.

One of the first ten employees to join Rhomobile. I managed operations in a fast moving startup as we doubled our headcount, grew revenue by 10x, and built the industry leader in cross-platform mobile development. I also headed marketing and lead generation campaigns resulting in closed deals with several Fortune 100 companies. In addition, I ran our accounting and finance department, building financial forecast models, creating budgets, and preparing financials.

Performed due diligence on strategic investment opportunities for the nation's largest student-run VC Firm, with $18MM under management. Analyzed companies in industries including cleantech, mobile advertising, VOIP, and pharma.

Created BYU course and curriculum that provided real-world business and consulting opportunities for students. The program connected 60+ students to socially-focused organizations such as Kiva.org, Acumen Fund and Teach for America.

Dedicated all my time and energy to sharing religious beliefs and giving service to others. Directed and supervised groups of missionaries in best-practices, teaching skills, and the Spanish language.
