Entrepreneur | Investor | Strategist | Writer

I champion principled startups that are making the world a better place, and work with leaders who invest in strong culture to achieve business growth.

In my past lives, for my PhD in neuro-cognitive science, I studied and developed new uses for music and everyday technologies within healthcare. I was particularly driven by the concept of personalized medicine and the potential that exists in harnessing our uniqueness for treatments, especially with increasing amounts of personal data and machine learning.

I pursued this passion within healthcare technology ventures where I secured funding and revenue, hired and led multiple product teams, and developed partnerships and regulatory approval with key healthcare institutions to demonstrate impact. With the first part of my career in R&D and the second in building global health technology businesses, I have the depth of expertise to speak and accomplish fluently on either end.
