Summary
I am known as a driven, multifaceted executive with the ability to build from scratch and turn around businesses with limited resources. Over my career, I have recruited and managed hundreds of people in the areas of product management, sales, business development, engineering (IoT, machine learning, software, hardware, etc.), operations, management, finance, and politics. Also, I am adept at understanding and have experience in multiple markets (machine learning, SaaS, human capital management, retail, cloud computing, intellectual property, imaging, computer vision, semiconductors, GPUs, construction, government, etc.) and in multiple geographies (North America, Europe and Asia) I have significant hands-on expertise with fundraising, machine learning, product management, marketing, enterprise sales, business development, engineering management, recruiting, campaigning, and local government. My “superpower” is the ability to listen, understand and empathize with stakeholders (customers, partners, investors, voters, etc.) to uncover pain points. Passionate about applying technology (esp. machine learning) to solve these problems. UC Berkeley and Caltech alumni.
