Company Info for grin.co | IcebreakerMembers

I’m passionate about learning innovative solutions to business challenges through first principles thinking, logic, science, and technology. With a background in technical recruiting and a keen interest in economics, I have a particular focus on the intersection of technology and talent markets.
I enjoy working with nerding out on the analytics on companies, however this also leads me to be very critical of companies and people that make poor business decisions (70-80% of post-series A companies fail for a primarily this reason). I care more about business results than the appearance of the decisions. I enjoy finding overvalued public markets and hedging against them.
On LinkedIn, you’ll often find me diving into topics like economics, technology, investing, finance, talent management, hiring, and recruiting. I can’t resist tossing in a well-timed meme or joke to keep things fun.

I am the Co-Founder of Goldilocks, a brand strategy consultancy, and an advisor to disruptive consumer companies. Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege of working with nearly 200+ CPG brands, ranging from pre-revenue to post-IPO, focusing on founder-led businesses that are tired of the status quo.
For more than six years, I led Covet PR, an agency I founded in 2014 that quickly became the industry leader in CPG and one of the fastest-growing firms in the country. In 2020, Covet was acquired by leading performance marketing firm Power Digital.
I am passionate about people, connections, and world-changing ideas.
