About
I’m interested in innovation and entrepreneurship, and in the start-up ecosystem that turns new ideas into companies.
I co-founded my first company in my final semester at Brown, co-captained a D1 national championship rugby team, and learned to sell at Gartner. Away from work I love films and the culinary arts, and I train Muay Thai, snowboard, surf, and play the piano and chess.
