Technology executive, investor & board advisor (ex-Meta/Facebook, ex-Amazon/Ring, ex-American Express, ex-Parthenon/BCG). I build products, teams and systems that compound. Over 20 years, I've scaled AI/ML & GenAI across enterprise and consumer—spanning marketplaces, monetization, messaging, fintech/payments, IoT, and identity/reg-tech—to 3B+ users and billions in ARR with full P&L ownership. I also invest via Parameter Ventures and provide fractional CXO guidance to founders, funds, and boards. Achieved multiple promotions and awards. Phase 1: Technical & Quant Foundations • Early career in high-frequency trading, quant research, and engineering (Lehman/Barclays, FactSet, IBM). Built systems at scale and learned precision in high-stakes environments. Phase 2: Post-MBA Strategy & Venture Capital • Parthenon/BCG: Advised F100 and PE/VC portfolio companies on growth, M&A, and digital transformation. • HOF Capital: Co-founding team, investing in enterprise SaaS and big data startups with global ambitions.
