VP Product - Lila

2X founder & CEO. I build software startups to solve big real-world problems. Currently focused on climate, the energy transition, and the buildout of the electric grid we need to get there. My first startup, NeighborSchools, was a software platform that helped child care professionals open & operate micro-daycares - creating safe, affordable, local child care. We raised $10m in VC from top firms, scaled to hundreds of locations across five states, and got acquired in the summer of 2022.
