A little about me
I'm a technology go-to-market leader focused on bringing beautiful, useful software to those who need it.
I'm currently Head of Growth at CoinTracker, building crypto solutions that give users peace of mind.
Previously I was a Corporate Development Lead at Meta where I evaluated new businesses and technologies, focusing predominantly on AR/VR and AI. Earlier at Meta, I was a Programs Lead focused on Media products, helping build businesses around products like Music, Stories, Live, Premium Video, Creator Tools, Rights Manager, and Cloud Gaming.
I've been fortunate to support and mentor numerous leaders and overall teams as large as 30.
I advise and invest (tiny checks) in promising startups. I've been a GTM exec mentor via First Round's Fast Track program.
I received my MBA from NYU Stern, and BA from Boston College. I live in Los Angeles, California.

What I've been working on
I'm working on building and scaling CoinTracker with a bunch of smart people. Our mission is to enable everyone to use crypto with peace of mind. CoinTracker is backed by Accel, General Catalyst, Initialized Capital, Y Combinator, 776 Ventures, and other leading investors. We're releasing new features (and having some fun) on Twitter and on our changelog.
I am ½ of Twin Kind, a music project I've been shaping for the last ~3 years with my friend, Kam.
I enjoy landscape photography. I will be bringing along my Sony A7III to Jackson Hole this summer where I'll be attending the inaugural Wyoming Blockchain Symposium.
In a previous life, I ran a digital content studio in New York. I'm currently resurrecting the studio and broadening its scope to focus on software products as well as digital media. Tools like Claude and Midjourney have unleashed in me a ferocious new creative energy.
Why I've been working
I'm fascinated by how psychology is embedded in every facet of the economy — from the micro to the macro. It's there in every pixel a users touches, in the wild swings in financial markets, and in the human connections that drive a company to succeed.
If you ask me what I'm most proud of in my professional life, I'd likely say it's the relationships I've built — with my teams, creative partners I've problem-solved alongside, and those I've sat across the table from in negotiations. As such, my approach to business is deeply rooted in understanding and leveraging human behavior.
I'm equally fascinated by pattern matching — taking observations from one part of life and applying them to entirely new, ambiguous challenges.
When these elements converge, infused with a little humor, I find myself in a flow state.
