Passionate leader with a deep commitment to understanding the customer, helping the customer, and developing all product, marketing, and sales strategies around that understanding.

Helped lead five venture-backed companies through rapid growth periods, changes of strategies, fund-raising, and acquisitions. Enjoy the gamut from early stage start ups up to organizations of 1000 employees. Had the privilege of hiring, mentoring, and working with some amazing teams of people.
