Hey I'm
people & Product Guy
I have 12+ years of work experience in startups and non-profits. In the last 8 years, I've been a co-founder and the 1st PM hire in 2 additional startups where we got acquired for over $405+ million and in the other role we reached $1.1B+ valuation, over 155M+ raised, and 15X in revenue in 1.5 years. I've been a part of 6+ startups from pre-series A all the way to successful acquisition.
My strategy is all about understanding the biggest problems that customers have and then creating solutions based on data analytics to make the most informed business decisions. My passion is designing products that you can't live without, building incredible cross-functional teams, and measuring the effect of product launches.
When I'm not working, you can find me surfing Product Hunt, playing Ultimate Frisbee, spending quality time with my awesome family, or exploring delicious Omakase experiences.
