I’m a serial entrepreneur passionate about building companies that solve real problems and challenge conventional thinking. Over the past decade, I’ve founded and scaled multiple ventures including taking a company from bootstrapped beginnings to the Inc. 5000 list and advised startups across SaaS, fintech, and consumer tech.

Today, I’m leading CompetitorIQ, a competitive intelligence platform that helps strategy and corp dev leaders see beyond press releases and polished announcements. By surfacing the hidden signals competitors leave behind from hiring trends and API changes to product documentation updates, we help teams anticipate moves months before they hit the news.

Alongside building companies, I’ve invested in underrepresented founders through funds like W Fund and Hustle Fund’s Angel Squad, and served on boards supporting inclusive entrepreneurship. I also authored “Decoding the Why,” an Amazon best-seller on behavioral science in product design and growth.

At the core, I thrive on uncovering hidden patterns, scaling ideas into impact, and collaborating with people who share a vision for shaping the future of technology.
