About
A product guy turned VC.
Over the past two decades, I played a key role in building and scaling category-leading companies with over $200M in annual revenues and over $100M in funding.As a product and strategy executive, I've gone from startup to exit twice with a total over $2B in corporate exits.My operational experience provides a strong foundation for my work with early-stage companies today, where I blend strategic vision and perspective with hands-on execution and action driven approach.
