My Short Professional Bio

I currently head up corporate development and strategy at Kochava, a real time systems and adtech company.

My professional expertise spans corporate development, writing, experience design, service delivery, operations, and business development.

Most of my career has been spent in technology and entertainment, but curiosity tends to get the better of me and has gotten me involved in everything from granola to tech companies. Some career highlights include cofounding a game company, Sleepy Giant, where as CEO I bootstrapped from zero to profitability. I’ve been lucky to work with some the most creative minds in the world like design teams at Disney and legendary talent like Jimmy Buffett. I’ve built and led multi-disciplinary teams of over 200 people — and worked completely alone as creator. Always driven by creative deal making, I’ve participated in hundreds of deals of all types including financings, M&A, distribution, publishing, content, technology, partnerships, and strategic alliances. I’ve been a speaker at conferences like Digital Hollywood, Game Developers Conference and LOGIN, and at corporate events at such places as Disney, Google and Founder Institute.
