I am a highly driven problem solver with over 30 years of professional experience as a CEO, CTO, V.P. of Engineering, Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) and Managing Partner of multiple organizations in multiple industries. In that time I have help to designed, built, and run complex information processing systems (mostly Internet facing) for many "Global 2000" Companies and hundreds of "fast rising" smaller companies and startups. While I do stay technically relevant to all projects that I work on (I love hands on keyboard time) my focus is on advisory to, and management of, technically driven teams. I stress working smart and I have two primary goals on any project: "mission success" and "economic efficiency." To accomplish this I typically automate everything possible, and where not possible I build a unitized work structure where team members can be seamlessly cross trained and, with minimal productivity loss, become redundant.
Current focus areas: AI and Machine Learning, Crypto/Web3, Security and Quantum.
Typical uses of my skills: Technical support of fundraising, startup advisory, engineering advisory, operational management, information security - especially crisis management, complex system design and management, large scale system administration, rapid and agile development, efficiencies of scale (scaling methodologies), scientific analysis and methods, large scale data mining, statistics, machine intelligence, managing emergent properties in complex systems. 
I’m a highly adaptable Executive Assistant with over 7 years of experience keeping fast-moving leaders organized, focused, and supported. I thrive in the behind-the-scenes magic, juggling complex calendars, smoothing out operations, and making sure everything just flows. I’m proactive, calm under pressure, and always thinking two steps ahead. Whether it’s managing the details or navigating the unexpected, I show up with solutions, a can-do attitude, and a deep commitment to making things easier for the people I support.
