I’m a technology entrepreneur, executive, and investor with over two decades of experience building and scaling software businesses at the intersection of video, Ai, telecom and advertising. As Partner at BetterFutureLabs—a New Jersey-based venture studio—I lead the creation of AI-native companies from the ground up. Our focus is on using Agentic and Multi-Agent AI to build entirely new businesses that solve real-world problems and unlock novel commercial opportunities. I work closely with founders, engineers, and domain experts to move from concept to company, applying hard-won operational and product experience every step of the way. I’ve served as CEO, Chairman, and Board Member for multiple VC-backed businesses, including Column6, a programmatic video platform I founded and successfully led through acquisition. Earlier in my career, I played a key role in launching Hulu while at NBC Universal, and advised major telecom and media companies at PwC, IBM, and IBB Consulting. Across every venture, my passion remains the same: building high performing, collaborative teams, which bring emerging technology to life.
