Description:
I'm passionate about building and investing in developer platforms across Enterprise, FinTech and IoT. Why developer platforms? Because if they are built to scale with purpose and values, they have the ability to democratize access and opportunity for everyone (think Slack for Enterprise, Plaid for FinTech and Samsara for IoT). I'm an angel investor/advisor to three startups: DarwinAI, ScaleFlux and Sudden Coffee. I also serve as an advisor to MBAs at Berkeley Haas. Most recently, I was on the business development team at Amazon in Seattle focusing on Alexa Smart Home. I worked on making Alexa the operating system for every property- hotel, apartment and home. Previously managed Business Development at a startup in NYC called CommonBond, a marketplace lending company that's originated over a billion dollars in student loan refinancing. Previously at another startup in San Francisco called Yodlee Interactive, the world’s first financial cloud for money management. Key leader in taking Yodlee public in 2014. Also served in management consulting roles at Capgemini, Mercer, Disney and Warner Bros. Specialties: Developer platforms, web services APIs, enterprise software, FinTech, smart home, voice-powered tech, new business development, complex sales, venture capital, incubators, online networks, contract negotiation, building and scaling organizations, mentoring young professionals and volunteering
