About

I’m a technology entrepreneur and operator with more than 15 years of experience building and scaling impactful companies. I’m currently the Founder and CEO of Arkero, where I’m building an AI-first operating system for sports and live-event organizations. Previously, I co-founded Remitly, helping scale the company from inception to its ~$8B IPO on Nasdaq, and gaining deep experience in product, technology, and customer-driven growth at global scale. I’m also a co-owner of Southend United Football Club, bringing a builder’s mindset and modern technology perspective to professional football. As an ardent soccer fan, I combine my love of the game with a passion for improving how sports organisations operate. I’m a customer-first problem solver who believes great technology starts with real human needs. Based in Seattle with my family, I’m committed to community impact and proudly serve on the board of trustees for the RAVE Foundation, supporting youth, education, and community initiatives through sport.
