Your job is tough. I’m here for the tough parts too. Let’s talk about how you get Capital, Customers, and Capabilities (Talent).
I have over two decades of experience in venture capital, strategy, partnerships, human-centered design, and new business building.
I was head of the Portfolio Value team at 500 Global, a leading venture capital firm that invests early in founders building fast-growing technology companies. My international team oversaw a global portfolio of nearly 3000 investments, but I've worked with dozens of individual startup CEOs on fundraising, B2B sales strategy, partnerships, and go-to-market.
Additionally, I have been a founder in fintech and e-commerce, starting one of the first digital banks for small businesses and a nationwide gourmet subscription service.
Fun Fact: I climbed Kilimanjaro on my honeymoon. Now I am the sherpa of my daughters camping trips for their girl scout troop.
