Bio
I co-founded GrowthX where I serve as Managing Member. I help build deal flow and make investment decisions, lead LP and portfolio relations, help run the Academy, attract and serve Corporate clients, and craft and guide the overall vision keeping everyone pointed towards a common North Star and keep the wheels on the bus. Prior to GrowthX, I was a technology attorney at a law firm and as corporate counsel, serving many of the early Internet pioneers. I moved out of a purely legal role and into operations and leadership roles at a large multinational where I helped conceive, build and scale an international media business in the U.S., Europe, and Asia Pacific. I’ve been fortunate to live and work in New York, Hong Kong, Singapore and San Francisco where I've had the opportunity to manage, mentor and advise diverse people from dozens of countries.
