I am an entrepreneur, strategist and investor. I use my experience to advise a number of startups on their product innovation and growth strategies. I am active in Chicago philanthropy, with a focus on conservation and climate change. I am an avid traveler, scuba diver and photographer.
I was most recently the SVP of Customer Lifecycle and Product Strategy (basically, a COO and CPO combined role) for Purchasing Platform, an e-commerce platform for the affordable housing industry. I joined the company shortly after it raised it’s Series A, and helped scale the business operations team. I also oversaw the product roadmap, including completely overhauling the entire front end user experience. I left as it was raising it’s Series B round to pursue other growth opportunities.
Prior to that, I was the CEO of Semantify, a startup based in Chicago. Semantify was the worlds first AI powered cognitive search and analytics engine for enterprise data. I oversaw a successful exit of the product to an existing client.
