Summary
I am the co-founder and Managing Partner at Fresco Capital, an early stage venture fund that supports exceptional entrepreneurs to build remarkable businesses. With over 9 years of experience in venture capital, I am involved in all aspects of investment and operations at Fresco Capital, where we prioritize people first and focus on global opportunities. Before becoming a venture investor, I was a serial entrepreneur who led several venture backed startups to failure, scaling, and exits. I learned valuable lessons from these experiences and applied them to my investment and operational decisions. I am also a geeky technologist at heart who can code a mobile app on the weekends for fun and run hackathons in different countries. I have multiple certifications in agile project management and strategy, and I write and speak about technology, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
