Professional Experience

As Director of On Deck's Angel Fellowship (ODA) I design and operate an exclusive community for the world's top angel investors. We focus on networking and deal flow and recently launched a track for emerging managers.

I spent time with the Primary team working as an entrepreneur-in-residence. I focused on fintech and marketplace incubation opportunities and helped diligence/ source deals.

I was the co-founder and COO of Heights Media, an early liquidity provider for leading programmatic advertising exchanges. We traded millions of ad impressions monthly and bootstrapped to 8 figures in revenue.

I'm an advisor for the SaaS portfolio of East Banc Technologies. focusing on growth and strategy initiatives. East Banc/East Banc Tech is a family office and top engineering firm focused on cloud, AI and distributed systems.

In 2005 along with Ben Schippers I co-founded a B2B sales intelligence platform backed by Austin Ventures, Jeff Dachis and angels. The company was acquired in 2008.

Rocket Fuel Studios worked with storied sports and entertainment brands on digital transformation and incubation. Led by a team of ex-AOL executives, our clients included: CBS, NFL, NHL MLS and NYSE.
