Co-founder & CEO

I am the Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel at Jurat Blockchains. Jurat bridges blockchain technology and the U.S. legal system. Our patent-pending platform helps web3 innovations thrive with comprehensive legal support, seamlessly merging decentralized technology with the security of traditional legal frameworks.

I am also the Founder and CEO of crowdspring, a platform launched in 2007 that helps over 220,000 designers and creative professionals collaborate with more than 101,000 small businesses, startups, agencies, and nonprofits. We deliver custom design and naming services, earning the trust of brands such as Amazon, LG, Starbucks, Microsoft, Barilla, and Philips, alongside thousands of entrepreneurs and nonprofits worldwide.

Earlier, I led Startup Foundry (a startup studio, 2014–2018), where we developed, built, and incubated AI‑focused products and managed cross‑functional teams (product, engineering, design, and go-to-market) from idea to launch. 

I am an attorney with deep roots in legal and regulatory work. I’ve spent 30 years at the intersection of law and technology, including as a trial lawyer focusing on intellectual property and technology disputes. I’ve litigated complex commercial and IP matters in U.S. state and federal courts and at the World Intellectual Property Organization, and I have extensive experience in regulatory proceedings. This blend of operational, product, and legal experience enables me to navigate the interplay between law, business, technology, and AI.
