About

An entrepreneur on a mission to create purposeful, innovative, and scalable businesses. 🚀 Currently flexing both my right and left brain. You can often find me striking a yoga pose or flowing through pilates, or running behind my daughter. A wanderlust enthusiast, I love collecting stories and adventures from around the globe! If you love building, I’d love to hear your story—let’s connect!

Angel Investor & Startup Advisor

Jan 2016 – Present · 10 yrs 2 mos

  • I started angel investing the same way I started building — by backing what I deeply believe in - the founders.
  • Founders who are not just obsessed with the problem and clear about the why, but more importantly founders who are sharp and get 'unit economics' and are humble and focused enough to work in the trenches as 'operators'.
  • Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of being an early supporter of exceptional startups across sectors and across geographies (US, LATAM)— not just with capital, but with time, perspective, and sometimes, just belief.
