About
I am passionate about building durable companies and forging genuine partnerships that help entrepreneurs win. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, I have respect for what it takes the build a company and the responsibility for your team that comes with it.I previously spent ~10 years investing in B2B technology and tech-enabled companies across the US, Canada, EU, and Israel with Telescope (SF) and at Stripes (NYC). I was at Stripes for nearly 8 years and helped build their software and healthcare practices from the ground up. Over the years I have worked with companies across SMB SaaS (monday.com NAS: MNDY, Connecteam, Kareo), Enterprise SaaS (FullStory, Dataiku, Balto, Spiff acq: Salesforce.com, Replicant, Fundraise Up, Givzey), Healthcare (Hello Heart, Equip, BoulderCare), and B2B Marketplaces (BacklotCars acq: Openlane, CarOnSale).
Experience
Strategy, Finance, and Operations Advisory
Third Ridge
Present
Strategic finance and operating advisory focused on software and tech-enabled services businesses. I work with a small number of companies at a time, partnering directly with CEOs and CFOs on growth, fundraising, and decision-making. My work sits at the intersection of finance and operations: building metrics backbones, improving GTM efficiency, supporting fundraising and M&A, and translating day-to-day performance into forward-looking outcomes. I bring an investor lens and a bias toward practical execution
