Creative problem-solving for big-hearted ventures.
I have deep technical, 0→1, and leadership experience, from scaling a corporate innovation platform, to leading technology for a global women’s network, to replatforming a national nonprofit.
My hands-on approach makes building a joy, not a chore. I’m always curious to hear about new social impact initiatives; reach out and let’s brainstorm!
I live in NJ, balancing building side ventures, coaxing my kids to try new recipes, and pruning powdery mildew out of my garden - almost always listening to a podcast .

Even More About Me
I'm a versatile leader with a passion for driving social impact through technology. With a unique blend of hands-on experience in product management, engineering, design, and bootstrapped startup leadership, I thrive in environments where I can wear multiple hats, get my hands dirty, and bring diverse perspectives to the table.
I'm at my best when I'm bringing clarity to ambiguity, and I love small teams that can match my bias for action.
