About

I’m a dynamic, creative commercial leader with over a decade of experience shaping partnerships and scaling growth at the intersection of tech, lifestyle, and travel. As a founding member of multiple commercial organizations—from LinkedIn and Pinterest’s global sales teams to early-stage VC-backed startups—I’ve been trusted by founders and C-suite executives to design strategies, build teams, and drive results. I move quickly to execute initiatives while remaining strategic and thoughtful, cultivating collaborative, relationship-driven environments that translate vision into sustainable growth and measurable success.
