About

With 15+ years of industry and 5+ years of full-time consulting experience, I've worked with startups and established companies to create impactful, innovative solutions to their growth challenges.

I am passionate about leveraging my strategic and innovation expertise to help my clients achieve their objectives. With 15+ years of experience consulting for corporates, VCs, and startups, I know what it takes to get successful results efficiently.

With industry expertise in fintech, workforce development, and health tech, I have helped corporate clients, ranging from banks to non-profits to innovate and define strategic direction for new projects. I have also helped early stage startups grow their businesses through assisting with go-to-market strategy, partnership development, and fundraising.

I have collaborated with other firms on projects, including Chloe Capital, Bennett Midland, Rios Partners, and Urban Strategies & Solutions, as well as individual consultants.

Prior to launching my consulting practice, I co-founded LearnLaunch, created a Future of Work practice for Village Capital, held senior fellowships at Learn Capital and SJF Ventures, and was employee 20 at mobile payments startup AisleBuyer, which was acquired by Intuit.

If you are ready to innovate, I am here to help.
