I invest in and coach “coachable superheroes”: early-stage, mission-driven founders tackling challenges in economic mobility, healthcare, climate, and education. As Managing Partner and Head Coach at Sidecut Ventures, I blend Fortune 500 expertise (Bank of America, Vanguard) with hands-on venture-backed CXO experience (Betterment, Own Up) to help founders achieve scale and impact. I roll up my sleeves, from product strategy to fundraising, because I believe great coaching—like great venture building—happens in the trenches. Beyond investing, I’m also an adaptive snowsports instructor and former member of PSIA-AASI’s National Adaptive Team, where I train instructors to teach individuals of all abilities how to ski or snowboard. The coaching mindset I bring to the slopes is the same one I bring to startups—helping unlock potential in unconventional ways.
