Columbia University School of Professional Studies

If the products created by an organization reflect its organizational structure, then is the inverse true? Columbia University's Masters in Technology Management enables students to gain competitive advantage through a technology-centered curriculum.

I'm teaching two courses in the Executive Masters program: Digital Strategy and Leadership; and the Executive Seminar on Product, the first phase of three that leads to the creation of a new business pitch.

Coalition for Asian American Children and Families

CACF's is one of the most exciting organizations serving Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPI) in the nation. Our mission is to advance equity for AAPI people, one of the poorest and most underserved ethnic groups. Our model is based on our coalition of community-based organizations that advocate for policy change and funding to shrink the gap between our size and public funding. We are currently focused on New York, where we are 11% of the population but receive less than 2% of social services funding.

I'm so delighted to support the amazing entrepreneur Ana Pompa Alarcon in this genius service that fills a major void in the startup support infrastructure, especially for historically underserved founders.

City of New York

I ran for Mayor because New York City has to work for everyone, to be a city where everyone belongs and where our differences are celebrated. Our problems are connected and that’s the key to solving them. I believed that New Yorkers might be ready for change, for a government that works for everyone. I ran on my leadership experience building teams and organizations to further democracy and take care of the most vulnerable, starting with front-line workers and the people they serve. 

I wrote the most comprehensive and forward-looking tech policy, including a Digital Bill of Rights and a Digital Services Agency, and the only candidate whose policies were molded by the effect of technology of all aspects of our lives.

Campaigning laid bare the existential crises that confront our city: the end of the eviction moratorium; the steady erosion in trust in a democratic system that doesn’t work for anyone; the massive inequities caused by our over-reliance on the private sector; and structural impediments to reforming broken systems, ranging from elections to policing to innovation. 

Campaigning made me love my city even more. The Millenials and Gen-Zers who bring fresh perspectives to our problems give me optimism and hope.

When I announced my candidacy for Mayor just over six months ago, I knew I would be a dark horse candidate in an unprecedented field of over 40 candidates. I knew victory was unlikely. I knew I had important points to make. I bet that I could find receptive audiences and have an impact. 

This week’s ranked-choice vote count makes clear that I failed to overcome the considerable obstacles in this race, and that’s not including the challenges of campaigning in a pandemic. Yet I’m closing this chapter with a sense of deep satisfaction and starting the next filled with joy and excitement.

JPMorgan Chase & Co.

I led a program to create a new knowledge management system for the global legal department. In partnership with JPMC's technology organization, we built a small team using agile/XP, user-driven product design and modern software, including consumer-grade search, metadata stores and graph database, all ready for AI. Today, JPMC lawyers around the world can find within seconds specialized legal information wherever it exists, whether in a person or in key documents.

Managing Director

Tipping Point Partners, LLC

For over a decade, we helped dozens of entrepreneurs conceive, build and launch software startups on the belief that software, used intelligently, can change industries and society for the better. We were a full-stack team practicing agile/XP user-driven product strategies since our inception. 

We were pioneers in civic tech and helped launch New York City's tech startup community. We demonstrated that tech innovation can improve democracy with NYC Votes and how we serve the most vulnerable with Casebook.  

As an "institutional entrepreneur," I held founding or leadership roles at Casebook (government social services case management), Cookstr (food publishing and nutrition), Haystack Media (streaming music), Orchard (iOS-specific app/systems developer), and Qwire (IP management for video in post-). 


In the private sector, we focused on boutique B2B SaaS startups that provided innovation solutions, with a special focus on how enterprises in established industries empower their frontline workers for their customers' benefit. We developed a partnering strategy in which senior leadership at potential companies would be part of the inception and product development process. Tipping Point Partner exits include IGA Worldwide (RapidFire), Mobile Commons (Upland Software), Cookstr (Macmillan), Playspan (Mastercard), Everplans (National Guardian Life), RapidRatings (Spectrum Equity). Our remaining portfolio company is Qwire (media).

We formed a limited purpose broker-dealer, Tipping Point Capital Advisors, where I served as Principal and FinOp Principal.

Founder & CEO

Pivotal Software, Inc.

I joined Pivotal as an employee in 2016 after its spin-out from EMC to help its largest financial services customers accelerate internal innovation using Pivotal’s platform and methodology. During my time there, I am especially proud of my work helping a GSIB's senior leadership team strategize and implement organizational and process changes to support agile and cloud.

From 2007 until Pivotal's acquisition by EMC in 2012, I formed a partnership with Pivotal Labs. Together, we built Cookstr, Casebook, and NYC Votes. Our relationship catalyzed Pivotal’s New York City office, its first office expansion outside of its San Francisco base, and changed how I conceived, built and launched software.

Director

Qwire Inc.

Qwire is transforming asset/rights management in studio television and film by replacing today's analog process with a seamless, web-based collaboration platform. Qwire's platform is on a path to becoming the industry-wide standard supporting the production of scripted video content in network television. Qwire's technology automates the integration of IP rights data with video, for which we have received broad patents.

Co-Founder and Advisor

Orchard

In 2010, Tipping Point Partners anticipated the explosion in the adoption of iOS devices in the enterprise and founded Orchard to pursue this opportunity, built around a team of former Apple software engineers who helped start the company. We believed that mobile systems (iOS plus SaaS) would unlock the value of data in the enterprise for the benefit of front-line workers, management and the people they serve. I am proud of our work creating platforms that included large-scale agriculture, aviation, pharmacy, and point-of-sales in partnership with the senior leadership of our customers and business partners. I served as CEO until 2013.

Founder

Columbia Lecturer (M.S. in Technology Management). Board Chair at CACF.org. Former 2021 NYC Democratic Mayoral Candidate. 

I am an award-winning creative problem solver and change agent who builds and leads teams that solve social and business problems. I have 40 years of experience demonstrating that technology, used responsibly, can change industries and society for the better. Working toward Equity and a New American Dream.
