I weave between the worlds of startups, investor advising, and governance. As a lifelong entrepreneur (as a 10 year old, I began charging my little sister to sleep on my bedroom floor), I've known the three facets of world-making: technology, investment, and operations support.

Currently I support organizations in the realms of company-building, from strategy to marketing. At the core, I prepare organizations for their own climate resilient future via innovation pipeline building. I create an operations system of creativity and risk management.
