Early-Stage Venture Capitalist | Startup Mentor at MassChallenge | Tony Award-Winning Broadway Producer I’ve built my career on one core principle: relationships drive results. My journey began on Broadway, where I produced award-winning shows alongside world-class creative teams, investors, and global brands. That chapter earned me a Tony Award, three additional Tony nominations, an Emmy nomination, and a Grammy nomination — but more importantly, it taught me the power of uniting diverse talents around a shared vision. After graduating from NYU’s Stern School of Business MBA program, I pivoted into the startup ecosystem. I worked for both semiconductor and consumer startups before joining an early-stage deep tech fund, where I focused on advanced automation, robotics, and semiconductor investments. Today, I’m a Venture Capitalist at Alumni Ventures supporting startups worldwide across all stages. I’m particularly passionate about helping international startups break into the US market. As a mentor with MassChallenge, I guide founders through critical early-stage hurdles — from refining business models to navigating fundraising and growing their visions. My mission is to connect corporations, startups, and venture capitalists in ways that accelerate innovation and unlock lasting impact.
