Entrepreneur

My journey in e-commerce began in 2001 when I started reselling shoes on eBay, a side hustle while I was working at Intel. I switched from hardware to software, joining Intuit where I learned customer focus, and the “pain points” around SMB tax and accounting. I was always intrigued by the startup life and found my way to Outright, a Sequoia backed bookkeeping startup where I ran business development, and later joined Magento where I ran partnerships and realized e-commerce was a lot bigger, and more complicated, than reselling shoes. The pinnacle of my working career was co-founding and building TaxJar, an automated sales tax solution initially for SMB (later expanding upmarket). TaxJar was acquired by Stripe in 2021, where I spent 3 years post acquisition. It’s been a great ride, and I’m now shifting gears to enjoy more time with family. Giddy up!
