Startup Advisor (aka unemployed)

2015 - 2016

After Yahoo I spent a year working with a number of startups as an angel investor or advisor including Instabug, Roofstock, Women Who Code. (This is all code for I mostly traveled)

Senior Director of Product Management

2013 - 2015

In January 2013 Snip.it joined forces with Yahoo (it was Marissa's second acquisition). I was the head of magazines, the new version of Yahoo's media products. We re-launched many of Yahoo's properties like food, fashion, and travel with a mobile focus and Yahoo's first native advertising product. It was a thrilling time. I learned about the Media industry, turnarounds, and the challenges of changing corporate culture. Most importantly, I had dinner with Katie Couric.

Founder and CEO

2011 - 2013

Principal

2009 - 2011

After hearing Vinod give an inspiring talk at the GSB, I stalked him for a business card. A few months (and a dozen interviews) later I joined Khosla Ventures as their first Principal. I worked closely with Vinod, the legendary Pierre Lamond and David Weiden on a number of investments including Groupme (board observer, acquired by Skype), Square (NASDAQ:SQ), Storify (board member, acquired by LiveFyre) and Ness (board member, acquired by OpenTable). It was the best introduction to Venture Capital one could hope for. But I quickly realized I had founder envy.

Head of Enterprise Engineering

2000 - 2007

In early 2000 Mike McCue and Hadi Partovi showed up at the Harvard Computer Science lab late Saturday night with Pizzas. We were sold. For the next seven years I built my software and product development chops at Tellme, one of the first AI SaaS company. I worked on building the first voice enabled trading product for E*Trade and Fidelity, and the first centralized ordering system for Dominos Pizza. I ran enterprise engineering until Tellme was acquired by Microsoft in 2007 for a little over $800M. There was no Bill Gates visit this time unfortunately, but Steve Ballmer visited Tellme and gave an epic talk.

Software Engineer

1999 - 1999

I started my development career with the then-mandatory summer internship at Microsoft. I worked on porting the GameOS platform to the Dreamcast, Microsoft's foray into the game console business before Xbox. The dreamcast had a Hitachi RISC processor while GameOS was written for Windows / x86 resulting in many sleepless nights rewriting assembly code. It was a blast. And we visited Bill Gates's house!
