I'm a hands on product and business executive who loves to contribute to web and mobile product evolution by producing UI designs, front end code snippets and anything else that is needed to ship on time. On the business side I handle funding conversations, investor updates, produce marketing collateral, sales pitch decks, actively drive sales and negotiate contracts and partnerships.
At GoodStori, we've built a place on the web for business professionals to nurture and grow important relationships. As the founder and CEO of GoodStori, I've had an amazing experience of leading a team from zero to our first paying customer, while staying super lean. We've built a powerful engagement platform for individuals and business that we hope changes the way professional relationships are grown and managed.
Outside of GoodStori, I mentor a small group of product leaders who are blazing strong careers in Silicon Valley. Their success is sometimes more satisfying than anything I could achieve on my own.
I'm also deeply involved with over 15 startups and mid-sized companies to shape their growth and trajectory - sometimes they end up using GoodStori's solutions - which is always a good thing!
