Company Info for dotdash.com | IcebreakerMembers
Once upon a time, I convinced ambitious people to join startups based on dreams and promises.
Today? I help founders convince the world that tokens and promises are the future of pay.
(Half-joking. Fully serious about impact.)
I’m fascinated by what makes people tick — and what makes great teams legendary. From building ventures in wedding cards, specialty coffee, IT services, nonprofits, real estate, and e-commerce, I’ve worn many hats and learned one thing: curiosity compounds.
At Accelera, I advise founders and scale-ups on building People functions that are proactive, not reactive. I help them avoid the "hire now, fix later" trap and instead create intentional hiring plans, team structures, and cultures built to endure.
Some founders see the value immediately. Some come back later with an "Oh, now I get it." Either way — they get it.
I’m also passionate about building payment products for emerging markets, helping bridge gaps where financial services often fall short. From remittances and bill pay to borderless B2B payments, our products will make complex money movement simpler and more accessible.
