I love cars, direct-to-consumer businesses and technology – and my passion lies where those three converge. I’m drawn to big, game-changing ideas that solve big problems or make an experience better. Right now I’m working hard at Fair to make getting a car better by letting people do it the same way they make countless other transactions – on their phones from wherever they are. With Fair, you can shop for a pre-owned car with monthly payments you can afford, sign for it with your finger, and turn it in at any time. It's an entirely new model that eliminates the negotiation, long-term commitment and even the physical paperwork that come with a traditional lease or loan.Fair is the culmination of decades of work as an early-stage entrepreneur in the automotive retail sector. I introduced upfront pricing to the car business via CarsDirect.com and expanded that to put true pricing power in the hands of consumers as the founder of TrueCar. I’ve been an Idealab CEO (with CarsDirect.com, now Internet Brands) and an eCompanies CEO (with Build-to-Order). Through those experiences I’ve had the opportunity to see the positive impact of disruptive technology solutions and implement them in the most competitive consumer environments.Specialties: • The drive toward fairness within the auto retail industry.• I like industries that are going through transformational change.• I study global events and macro trends. • I’m curious about the environment, philanthropy, the price of oil and its impact on our economy, and politics.
