About

Veteran entrepreneur and executive. Founder of multiple start-ups with exits (Infonxx, Yahoo, Zapier). I'm passionate about uncovering unmet customer needs and delivering pragmatic solutions across product and go to market organizations. I’ve led high-performing teams in both startup and enterprise contexts, and have been responsible for products generating upwards of $1B in annual revenue while tackling complex customer challenges at scale. Beyond business, I co-founded the nation’s longest-standing student volunteer organization for hospitalized veterans and was appointed by two California governors to the state’s public service board. Leadership and service are core to who I am.
