Building Something New - Chief Policy Officer -Global Government Relations - Communications - Advisor - Investor - Ex Craft Ventures, Lyft, Square, Hims, Zenefits, Chime
I have been lucky enough to be at the forefront of the intersection of tech and government. Everyday, I leverage my 25+ years of experience and expertise in advocacy, campaign, and partnership development to help companies navigate the complex and evolving regulatory and political landscape, and to create positive social and economic impact. My time as an Operating Partner for Policy & Public Affairs at Craft Ventures, gave me the opportunity to lead the government relations, public affairs, and public policy efforts for a portfolio of innovative and disruptive companies in various sectors, such as fintech, e-commerce, healthcare, and mobility. I have been at the forefront of some of the most interesting and challenging issues facing lawmakers and regulators today, such as data privacy, consumer protection, financial inclusion, telehealth, and gig economy. I have successfully built and managed relationships with key stakeholders, influencers, and decision-makers at the local, state, and federal levels, and have advocated for policies and regulations that enable innovation and growth, while protecting the interests and rights of consumers and workers. With my Craft Ventures colleagues I identify and invest in promising and visionary entrepreneurs who are solving real-world problems with technology. I am passionate about advancing the mission and vision of Craft Ventures' portfolio founders, and about making a positive difference in the world.
