About

I joined IVP in 2021 and focus on investing in high-growth software companies. I’ve helped lead IVP’s investments in Anthropic, DeepL, Figma, Glean, Jasper, Laurel, Numeric, Pigment, and Superhuman. Prior to IVP, I was CFO of Dropbox through its IPO and first few years as a public company. During my tenure, I helped Dropbox scale into one of the world’s largest SaaS businesses — from $50M to nearly $2B in revenue, and from 50M to more than 600M users. My experience as an operator is invaluable to me as an investor, and I’m committed to being a hands-on, active partner to every company I work with. In my free time, I enjoy running, building legos with my daughters, and rooting for the Seahawks!
