About

I’m a Venture Partner at Jackson Square Ventures.

I’ve worked in fintech and entrepreneurship for two decades – as a founder and Fortune 500 executive. I love helping entrepreneurs grow from seed to scale, especially in anti-hype fintech and enterprise.

As a founder, I’ve built a startup acquired by a Fortune 500 company (John Hancock), built a startup with the parent company (Twine), and founded a microfinance organization (Jozoor Microfinance).

With Fortune 500 companies, I’ve developed strategy (McKinsey), led strategic partnerships and new ventures (John Hancock), and worked as an engineer and in business development (Microsoft).

I studied at Stanford (engineering and MBA) and Harvard (international economic development).

All views are my own.
