A founder-turned-investor, I have 20 years of experience in building and scaling brands and tech businesses. From top advertising agencies to cofounding and running my own company (sporttech marketplace), to the big corporate world – fashion then financial consulting, and back to startups – I have worn many hats over the years and continue to do so (a tech journalist, a founder, VC investor, Head of Growth, strategist, CMO… and an actual Stetson hat I’m often recognized for on stage). A frequent public speaker on topics of venture capital, brand building, leadership, storytelling, and more worldwide, I’m an Ivy League-trained and certified leadership and communication coach to founders, C-suite execs, and investors.
