I currently work on privacy-preserving crypto technologies.
Previously, I built a Growth team from scratch to 15 people that took revenue from $20m to $80m+, led a team of 12 product managers that built category-defining products, and led a team of 60+ people that developed and brought to market the world’s most accurate English speech recognition engine. My work in product, marketing, and leadership led to massive increases in customer acquisition, retention, and happiness.
I am here to share all I learned as a Product/Growth practitioner and leader.
Day Job: Growing Companies 📈
My role as Demox Labs’ Co-Founder/CEO is to build something people want and not run out of cash. We are building category-defining products for privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies.
Top Skills: Product & Growth Strategy, Storytelling, Recruiting
Night Job: Angel Investing 👼
My full-time hobby is angel investing in early-stage companies. I seek to partner with amazing entrepreneurs who are on missions to change the world. I’ve invested in many industries and geographies, but spaces that tend to interest me most are Crypto, B2B software, productivity tools, the future of work, and marketplaces.
My biggest value-add to companies is advising on product strategy, growth strategy and tactics, and general leadership support.
Top Skills: People-driven.
