Engineer. Founder. Coach.

Coach at heart, engineer by training.

My first career was as a gymnastics coach, and every step of my journey in the tech industry has only proven the lessons I learned as a coach: technical excellence alone won't lead you to success. When domain expertise is combined with empathy, clear communication, and strategic vision, you will be unstoppable.

Technical excellence
I've always loved pushing the boundary of applied computer science from cryptography to quantum computing and AI. Technical excellence is not just understanding but also shaping the future, ensuring that technical leaders are always at the frontlines of innovation with the rest of leadership teams.

Empathetic Leadership
Empathy is the linchpin of effective leadership. My experience has taught me that trust and understanding form the bedrock of high-performing teams. Whether coaching athletes, leading engineers, or starting companies, the ability to connect and empathize has proven essential. Empathetic leadership means seeing through others' eyes and cultivating a supportive, united culture.

Clear Communication
We are often deep in the weeds (and we love it). But those we have to persuade are not. We have to find ways to help those around us understand the impact of our team. Nothing has proven this to me more staunchly than bringing cryptography and quantum computing concepts to congresspeople. Nothing we do is too complex to explain to the folks who need to understand.

Strategic Vision
I've been fortunate to see companies from every angle: as an investor, an advisor, a CTO, an engineer, a founder, a manager, the list goes on. Leaders with strategic vision are unmistakable. They recognize potential, anticipate trends, and lead without hesitation. This is what it takes to see our goals through.
