Founding Partner at Aperture VC where we back startups building the future of financial services. VC professor at Duke University where I teach MBAs to embrace risk in times of extreme uncertainty. Previously built the nation’s first corporate-backed diversity VC fund at Comcast and helped create early stage investment platforms for Fortune 500s including Morgan Stanley and Hearst. Committed to helping others realize their full potential. True believer that failure is not an option because quitting isn’t either.
