background

Over an almost 20 year career, I’ve been a founder, VC, and product leader. These roles built my subject matter expertise, but the overall drive behind my curiosity is simply learning about people: why they do what they do. In the process, I’ve learned how to ask the right questions, incubate a growth mindset, coach and be coached, and organize people into high performance teams.

I joined Slack in 2015, where I built the foundational Growth team. I grew the cross-functional group from 0 to 50 people while we drove Daily Active Users from 500k to over 6 million in just over 2.5 years. Our in-product onboarding became the standard for SaaS products.

After Slack, I joined Lightspeed Venture Partners, where I invested in consumer and SaaS companies and served on boards.
