My experience spans various industries, including technology startups, mobile networking, autonomous vehicles, legal, health insurance, materials testing, and banking. I’ve worked with companies at every stage, from large Fortune 50 to early-stage founders with just three people to growth-stage startups with over 1,000 employees who had secured Series C funding. I’ve helped startups achieve 0 to N success—transforming ideas into working pilots, building customer bases, and securing initial seed funding. My versatility extends to collaborating with private equity founders and engaging with boards of directors to drive strategic growth. This breadth of experience highlights my adaptability, innovation, and proven ability to thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments while delivering results across industries and company sizes.
