Skills
Summary
I've co-founded the web's first music distribution platform (IUMA, acquired by EMusic), one of the first enterprise social networks (Visible Path, acquired by Dun & Bradstreet) and helped develop the first personalized nutrition platform (ShopWell, acquired by YottaMark). Most recently, I was co-founder and CTO of Directly where I managed a product portfolio that included a collaborative AI training platform, enterprise-facing help desk and web apps, and expert-facing iOS and Android apps. Directly's On Demand customer support platform is used by companies like Microsoft, Samsung, AT&T and Airbnb, and was acquired by Movate in 2022.
