Experience
Experience
I've worked across the full company lifecycle—from fast-scaling Series A-C startups to late-stage Series E, F, and IPO-bound and PE-backed companies.
Having navigated hyper-growth, M&A, and IPO processes, as well as building from scratch or preparing for international expansion, I understand the challenges at each stage and help companies anticipate what's coming next, building talent strategies that scale with them.
Industry Experience: SaaS, FinTech, Marketplace, Cybersecurity, Cloud Services, InsurTech, Gaming, Ad Tech (Advertising Technology), MarTech (Marketing Technology), Transportation & Mobility, Data Visualization & Analytics
Global Reach: US & Canada, LATAM, Australia, Europe, Middle East, Africa

When I’m not at work, you’ll find me at the gym, a Pilates studio, or at home cooking for my friends. I love making things from scratch! I'm a huge sports fan—mostly football and Formula 1—and I probably use way too many sports metaphors when talking about leadership. If I disappear for a weekend, chances are I'm off chasing the sun in an undisclosed location.
