CTO at Gallup, product philosopher, and entrepreneur.

I'm an experienced executive with expertise in turning complex technologies into impactful, user-centric products. I thrive when leading other leaders at the intersection of product, engineering and design. Currently I'm the CTO of Gallup, a global analytics and advisory firm that helps organizations understand and maximize human potential through data-driven insights. I am leading our shift from a traditional IT-driven model to a product- and user-centric approach that solves today’s challenges for our customers. Prior to Gallup, I served as CTO at Stand Together, a community of nonprofits tackling challenges in economic opportunity, education, criminal justice reform and other societal issues. I also was CEO of GrainBridge, an AgTech joint venture between ADM and Cargill that was acquired by Bushel in 2021; co-founder and CEO of Descartes Labs, leading the company to over 100 employees, $60M in funding and $20M in revenue; and CEO of Zite, a popular AI-powered news reader acquired by CNN and then Flipboard. Before becoming an entrepreneur, I had a strong foundation in product management at various startups and large software companies.
