Summary

My career has been spent applying my strategy, business development, and innovation skills to solving problems that create growth and opportunity in the public, private, and non-profit sectors. I founded HousingTech in 2019 to help accelerate innovation in the housing market in order to increase supply, affordability, availability, and attainability. HousingTech advises early-stage companies with innovative, tech-enabled solutions, as well as other housing market players such as developers, portfolio owners, capital providers, philanthropies, policymakers, and trade associations. In 2025, I conceived and currated the National Housing Supply Summit (https://housingsupply.us) , a day-long convening of industry and policy makers identifying pathways of opportunity for the federal government to take action to increase housing supply in the U.S. I have over 20 years of experience building businesses in the housing and technology sectors. In February 2024, I completed a two-year assignment as the Senior Advisor to the Commissioner of the Public Buildings Service at the General Services Administration (GSA), which oversees the U.S. government’s civilian real estate portfolio of more than 365 million square feet. I previously served as Vice President of Innovation for Enterprise Community Partners, Inc., a national real estate financial services platform serving the affordable housing sector. In that role, I built an investment portfolio of HousingTech companies and led the launch of an online impact investing brokerage. My additional professional experiences include serving as a policy advisor to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce and running a federal interagency taskforce on e-commerce; providing business strategy and policy consulting to high-tech and startup companies as Vice President of E-commerce at Infotech Strategies; and co-founding and running a real estate development company in Baltimore, Maryland. I am a member of the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) Innovation and Technology Council and previously served as an UrbanTech advisor to Dreamit Ventures, an Ivory Innovations Fellow, and a member of the Selection Committee for the Housing Lab at the Terner Center for Housing Innovation. I have a passion for finding housing solutions for the intellectual and developmental disability (I/DD) community and currently chair the real estate finance committee of Benedictine Programs & Services, which helps children and adults with disabilities achieve their greatest potential.
