Strategic storyteller and publicist driving scalable marketing outcomes for Silicon Valley executives and brands. I craft category-defining narratives that have helped companies raise $1.5 billion in new investment

Every great company is actually a social movement.

Bring me a highly-technical founder with a muddy storyline, and I will deliver a movement leader with a sparkling new narrative that dominates headlines, and drives business results. 

I’m a media storyteller, community-builder, and thought partner to high-performing executives, investors and visionary founders. 

Together we activate audiences to tackle humanity’s most pressing challenges with ingenuity, passion and deep expertise.  

Everyone says they’re result-driven, but over the past decade I’ve consistently transformed high-growth technology founders into category leaders, launching more than 80 startups that have earned thousands of media features. 

Collectively my clients have raised more than $1.5 billion from the top venture capital funds and private equity groups. 

Leveraging my extensive network of investors, operators and media, I curate unforgettable events that lead to strategic relationships and unlock opportunities that propel my clients to the head of the line. 

I don’t win awards, but my clients do. 

Whether it's being recognized as a Fast Company Most Innovative Company, Central Banking Magazine’s Finnovator of the Year, or receiving the Core77 Design Sustainability Award, the founders I support stand out among their peers year after year.

After 14 years in the heart of Silicon Valley, I remain fired up about technologies that tackle humanity’s greatest challenges, including food security, global warming, and how the rise of artificial intelligence will impact small business owners, knowledge workers, creative professionals and educators.

When I’m not working you can find me coaching my son’s soccer team, nerding out about all things Arsenal Football Club, or exploring San Francisco’s bounty of mysterious nooks and crannies on two legs. 

I’m a lover of spicy food, black coffee and true crime documentaries. 

Lifetime learner.

I only work with clients I know I can help.

Over the last decade, I closed some of the biggest deal at Salesforce, LinkedIn, Zoom.

So I quit my high paying job.
