  • INTRODUCTION

    Strategy. Insight.

    Guidance. Execution.

     

    During my career, I have had the pleasure of working with...

     

    Venture capitalists, who parachute me in to ensure the growth marketing and overall performance of the startups within their portfolio,

     

    Innovative tech founders, who want to focus on building their vision, but need someone to promote and scale the fantastic <thing> that they've created,

     

    Fortune 500 corporations, who want to tap into and engage the innovative startup ecosystem to glean insights and technology,

     

    and leading incubators, accelerators and academic institutions where I can give back, teach, mentor, evaluate and guide the next generation of startup entrepreneurs.

     

    In late 2017 I founded Gearbox.AI, a big data, AI startup designed to solve startup sourcing and diligence for open innovation professionals.

     

    In 2020, I founded VentuRank, a startup intake scoring platform to make early screening easier for venture capitalists' cold deal flow.

     

    It's been a great journey (so far),
