Bio
I have co-founded 3 ventures (Elegant Solutions, insEYEte, Startship), served as head of product at an agency (Archbolt), served as a logistics and supply chain-focused Chief Product Officer (Tailored Industry), and provided end-to-end product consulting services (design, management, strategy) for 30+ clients world wide. I have also built a second career as an instructor in higher education, teaching courses on leadership, negotiations, and product development at the University of Virginia (UVA) and Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). I have also served on non-profit boards, and strongly believe in giving back! I have a passion for how things are made (manufacturing, design, engineering) and how things move (supply chain, logistics, operations). Outside of work, I enjoy 3D printing, CNC routing, jiu-jitsu, working out, cooking, experimenting with coffee, and writing screenplays!
