I'm a New York-based entrepreneur, advisor, and educator passionate about exploring the intersection of psychedelic medicine, community, and education. Previously, I served as CEO and Co-Founder of River, a groundbreaking news aggregator powered by machine learning, which was acquired by Roca in 2021. Before River, I co-founded Wander (acquired by Yahoo in 2014). At Wander, we pioneered the 'stories' sharing format with our flagship iOS app, Days, laying the groundwork for Snapchat Stories and Instagram Stories. Prior to that, I founded the first social platform for local recommendations.
