Summary
I've had the privilege of operating and investing at the forefront of the biggest technology trends of the last two decades and building, growing and monetizing many mass market digital products and services with hundreds of millions of users. I have an insatiable appetite for innovation and emerging technologies. My operating experience spans executive leadership roles across social media, online games, interactive entertainment, video, mobile, Saas and payments/commerce. I have led talented product and development teams through the entire digital journey, from product ideation through development, launch, growth and monetization. Additionally, I have built and/or managed all business operations including sales, business development, marketing, people operations, corporate development and finance. From helping scale a hyper growth startup through IPO (Zynga), to building four other venture-backed startups with exits (Imgur, Atom Entertainment, July Systems, Prio), and driving new businesses at three public companies (Viacom, Zynga, InfoSpace), I have learned how to build and grow digital businesses through the ups and downs while enjoying the process. In addition to my operational roles, I advise entrepreneurs and venture funds, as well as make early stage investments in startups.
