My first job was...

Subway! I was in high school and I believe the official title was “sandwich artist”. My first “real” job after college was Investment Banking Analyst with Morgan Stanley, where I joined in 2008 at the peak of the financial crisis

I've been through the ups and downs...

Being a business leader in SaaS during 2015-20 vs 2020-21 Covid Years vs 2021-25 was a rollercoaster. This incredibly dynamic environment, it turns out, was excellent prep for the even more dynamic environment of the AI era we are in

I strongly believe …

That movement is medicine. I enjoy being active, getting outside, and trying new things. It clears the mind and makes room for creativity and connection.
