Founder and Managing Partner, Forerunner

Right now, we are living through the greatest technological transformation in a century — one that is reshaping the very foundations of how the world works. The technology, the applications, the behaviors being formed today will not just shape but fundamentally redefine how we learn, how we create, how we connect, how we work, how we heal, how we move through a day and through a life. Building today is a generational opportunity to play a role in creation and I am here for it.

I've spent my career reading where technology and behavior intersect before the market does — identifying where new capabilities meet real human needs. In this fast-moving AI moment, the questions of who it serves and why it matters are more important than ever. Technology itself is raw. Its impact is determined by how it's shaped, received, and used. I stand in the space between technology and the human.

02How I Show Up

I know what's worth talking about and what's noise — and I bring a big vision for how things map together in ways that unlock greater potential. I am in it for the long arc: consistent, constructive, a true believer.

Under pressure I am confident and calm. I push — but always in service of what's possible, never what's comfortable. Founders know I am kind and optimistic. What they sometimes don't expect: I am also a fierce competitor. I am here to win alongside the people I back.

That combination — belief and edge, warmth and ambition — is what I bring to every partnership.

Art, drawing, journaling, fashion. Someday, more of this.

Ideal day: outside, moving, a long unfolding conversation.
