Focused on early-stage investments (preseed, seed, Series-A). I am open to solutions across all tech sectors. Interested in dataops, applied AI and industrial automation. Adore learning and supporting smart teams attempting bold things. IMHO, diversity of thought and experience are the building blocks of resilient, high performing teams and what I look for in collaborators/founders.

General Manager, FounderFuel

2020

I am thrilled to work with a team committed to elevating entrepreneurs in pursuit of daring ideas. We have ambitions to improve the world by solving problems at scale. By adding venture capital to my toolbox, my evening and day jobs have now blended together, allowing me to invest wholly in helping good people succeed: founders, mentors, innovators and leaders in our communities.
