Growing up fast meant forgoing traditional education—I neither attended university nor completed high school. I was taught young (in sports) that drive and commitment are the foundation of success.
Bold moves led to roles at world-class companies, where I worked with influential leaders and achieved significant financial success before I was legally able to consume alcohol.
My journey in the tech industry has been a thrilling ride, filled with building teams that developed platforms, applications, and networks, joining four startups as employee #2, and contributing to products and services that have made a global impact.
Along the way, I’ve faced numerous challenges and taken significant risks, including long days of uncertainty, navigating failed startups, and launching products that were either a decade ahead of their time or just a bit too late.
However, these experiences were balanced by remarkable successes: witnessing over $300M in investment capital raised, co-authoring business plans, executing Go-To-Market strategies, participating in IPOs, and seven profitable exits. I’ve also had the privilege of being hired by and reporting directly to CEOs.
Much of my success and growth can be attributed to the exceptional mentors who have guided me throughout my career. These mentors, some of whom are industry giants, cared deeply about my future and invested their time to help me develop crucial skills.
They taught me how to break down product requirements, refine complex problems, debug effectively, create and launch brands, sell to early adopters, understand people, make data-driven decisions, quantify value, and identify and assemble top talent.
Collectively, these experiences and the wisdom imparted by my mentors have given me a graduate-level understanding of the tech industry, equipping me with the tools to thrive in this ever-evolving landscape.
I've spent a good part of my career helping others uncover their true potential and thrive professionally. Including a long history of helping to navigate challenges, set courageous goals, and build lasting success.
