About Me

TL/DR: I lead Corp Dev at Phantom, teach at UC Berkeley, advise startup founders, and know way too much about calendars.

Long story:

I do lots of things! Currently, I'm the Head of Corp Dev at Phantom, having led the BD function for a few years. Previous to Phantom, I was VP of BD & CorpDev at Abstract (acquired by Adobe), and before that ran Business Development at GitHub (acquired by Microsoft).

I've started a dozen companies, most recently Eventbot, a Slack calendar app and Ballotshare, an app to help people vote in the US.

I also teach two courses at UC Berkeley, "Intro to Code for MBAs" and "Sales for Startups". Been teaching for ten years now, and really enjoy helping students grow into founders! Go 🐻s!

In addition to all of that, I also invest in early stage startups and mentor underrepresented founders. If you'd like to chat, just send me a note and we can grab tacos in Berkeley ! 🌮 😃
