I specialize in
“I help visionary founders build, scale, and commercialize breakthrough tech”
Background & Highlights
I’m a problem-solver and dot-connector at my core, driven by a creative lens and a bias toward building. I’ve worked on some of the most complex challenges across industries, partnering with innovative and impact-driven organizations ranging from Fortune 10 enterprises to high-potential startups. Today, I’m Managing Partner at Actuate Ventures, where I lead strategy, product, and innovation for early-stage deep-tech and space-tech investments. We back outlier founders advancing society through breakthrough technologies; and we don’t just write checks—I work shoulder-to-shoulder with founders, providing deep operational support across strategy, product, growth, and execution. I also co-found and advise ventures that strengthen the deep-tech ecosystem, including deep-tech innovation hubs designed to accelerate commercialization and rebuild America's industrial base. As an investor and operator, I help companies plan, build, and scale products and organizations with ecosystem-level considerations and strategies via tactical execution—acting as a “cofounder-in-a-box” across strategy, product, growth, and go-to-market. My work and experience spans aerospace and space tech, manufacturing, MRO, government, AI, B2B, B2C, enterprise tech, frontier tech, emerging technologies, through innovation strategy & integration. I’m energized by bold ideas, ambitious builders, and the opportunity to help shape what’s next. Let’s build the future together.
