Bio
Over the past 14 years, I co-founded, led, scaled, and exited a B2B technology-enabled marketplace business called Cater2.me. Along with my co-founder, we expanded the business to over 15 US markets, managed over 200 people, and did over $300m in sales, all while remaining bootstrapped / profitable. Prior to starting Cater2.me, I worked in investment banking as an analyst (Morgan Stanley) and in private equity as an associate (TPG). I specialize in turning complex logistical challenges into efficient, scalable systems, analyzing new product initiatives / roadmaps and pricing structures, and fostering strong relationships with diverse vendor and client networks. I enjoy brainstorming, creative / collaborative problem solving, and working through frameworks for sustainable products / business models.
Expertise
Bootstrapping
I built, scaled, and exited a B2B technology-enabled marketplace business called Cater2.me that was focused on helping organizations create community through shared meals from local entrepreneurial food partners. Cater2.me was entirely bootstrapped and profitable from launch.
Building a team
I built and managed a team of over 200 people across multiple offices in the US. Can speak to everything from first hire strategy, to team culture, to collaboration tools required at scale.
Career guidance
My co-founder and I both left career-track roles in finance to build a company together. Happy to share insights into how we made that initial transition and help think through considerations around first-time entrepreneurship.
Customer success
A large part of our organization at Cater2.me was oriented around customer success. Can speak to issues related to team training and management, customer success tools, SLAs, and general client engagement / management.
Operations
Expertise in building and managing a two-sided marketplace (connecting corporate clients with local food vendors), including developing technology and team structures to support operational success.
