About

Cofounder of SpendPilot, the ambient finance layer for modern businesses who don’t have time to babysit their books. I’m obsessed with eliminating reactive finance work, surfacing risk in real time, and giving operators the clarity to make decisions before it’s too late, not after the close. Before SpendPilot, I spent my career at the intersection of finance, ops, and GTM across Apple, fintech, and venture-backed startups, building revenue models, leading strategic ops, and driving growth alongside founders. I believe the next decade of finance won’t be dashboards or decks — it’ll be proactive systems that think, watch, and act so humans can focus on building. My superpower is turning chaos into clarity: connecting data to decisions, aligning teams around measurable outcomes, and building systems that scale from zero to one. Building: agentic finance • proactive alerting • autonomous workflows Beliefs: speed > perfection • cash is the real truth • clarity creates momentum
