About me

4-time Founder & CEO | AI & Technology Veteran | Raised $65MM in VC | M&A | Exited I’m a board director and serial founder with over 20 years in AI, ML, and emerging technologies. Having built and scaled four companies in AI and SaaS, raised $65M in capital, and created over $100M in revenue, I now serve on boards ranging from a $1B PE-backed enterprise to an Andreessen Horowitz / a16z portfolio company. I’m also a member of the Nasdaq Center for Board Excellence. My career has been about turning technology into value creation—whether that’s scaling companies to acquisition, navigating M&A, or helping boards operationalize AI to drive transformation.

If it involves guiding boards through digital transformation, scaling AI businesses, or unlocking competitive advantage in fast-moving markets—I’m in.
