Overview

Work Experience

  • Founder & CEO

    2014 - Current

    Superhuman is the fastest email experience ever made. Fly through your email twice as fast as before. Be more responsive to what matters most. Get 4 hours back every single week. We, along with 1 billion other people, spend 3+ hours a day just reading and writing email. Not one of us enjoy it. That's why we are rebuilding the inbox from the ground up. We are designing it specifically for professionals and power users. Especially those with very demanding inboxes. Our team previously founded Rapportive (acquired by LinkedIn), created pry (used by 25% of ruby developers), and co-founded Liveramp (NYSE:RAMP). We are funded by all-star investors including IVP, Andreessen Horowitz, First Round Capital, Sam Altman, Paul Buchheit — the creator of Gmail — and the founders of Stripe, Reddit, GitHub, AngelList, and Intercom. We're hiring at superhuman.com/jobs or jobs@superhuman.com ✨

  • LinkedIn Intro

    2012 - 2014

    In 2012, LinkedIn acquired Rapportive, an email company that I co-founded. Since then, we have been furiously working together to build a groundbreaking mobile product: LinkedIn Intro. The growth of mobile email is simply staggering. In 2009, less than 4% of emails were read on mobile. In 2013, half of all emails are read on a mobile device! So we set ourselves the challenge: bring the power of LinkedIn, and the technology of Rapportive, straight to the Apple Mail app on your iPhone. We call it… LinkedIn Intro. With Intro, you can immediately see what people look like, where they're based, and what they do. In just one tap, you can unlock a rich, interactive, application-like experience — right in your iPhone Mail app. You can see a summaries of people and your strongest mutual connections. You can see occupations, past and current, and their full descriptions. You can even see where people went to school. With Intro, you can craft the perfect response. Intro gives you everything you need to put faces to names, establish rapport, write the most effective emails — and ultimately — be brilliant with people, and better at at what you do.

  • CEO & Co-Founder

    2010 - 2014

    Rapportive shows you everything about your contacts right inside your inbox. You can immediately see what people look like, where they're based, and what they do. You can establish rapport by mentioning shared interests. You can grow your network by connecting on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and more. And you can record thoughts for later by leaving notes. Imagine relationship management built into your email. For free. Rapportive was acquired by LinkedIn in 2012: http://blog.rapportive.com/rapportive-acquired-by-linkedin

  • Co-founder

    2007 - 2009

    mo.jo developed a web application which enabled large organisations to crowdsource business ideas and teams. We sold this to Cancer Research UK (the largest cancer charity outside the US) and the Ordnance Survey (the UK's national mapping agency).

    CUE is one of the most successful student-run business creation competitions in the world. Since 1999 we've awarded over £500k to over 40 start-ups. Our alumni have secured over £33M of further investment and employ over 110 people.

  • Game Designer

    2004 - 2004

    I worked on RuneScape, the most popular free online RPG. I created the quests Tai Bwo Wannai Trio and Monkey Madness; the latter remains one of the most popular in the game.
