Leading and growing the global luxury categories at eBay along with driving innovation across categories. I have an MBA from Kellogg with over 20+ years in eCommerce and marketplace businesses driving growth + innovation. My experiences are across high growth start-ups to bigger public companies, and also in building a start-up from the ground up to an exit. I've scaled start-ups from $10M to $150M+, and have owned P&Ls of $1B+.
I am a growth minded leader that knows how to bring all the pieces together end to end to drive business growth. My skill-set and experiences are in leading/growing P&Ls, multi-channel growth marketing, category management, database analytics, business development, finance, operating a P&L towards sustainable growth, product/engineering roadmaps, leading teams of 5 to 100+, and building innovation for companies to stay ahead of the market.
I am also an investor in innovation in the future of commerce and an advisor to start-ups. Key areas I look at and drive execution on include Video and Live commerce, conversational commerce, solutions to scale marketplaces, B2B and C2C customer acquisition, SaaS solutions around commerce enablement, and more.
I co-founded TrueFacet in 2014, a multi-sided marketplace where consumers, brands and businesses come together with a trusted e2e experience. We raised $27M over 5 years from top VC funds and grew into a team of 80+ innovating the way consumers shop/sell. The business exited/sold in early 2019.
Previously, I was at high growth start-ups across almost all phases and have also spent time in venture capital investing into consumer and incubating companies. I started my career in investment banking conducting analysis on mid-sized organizations.
It was humbling for me to be recognized recently as one of the top 50 leaders by Glossy in Fashion/Luxury and I have been proud of the teams I have had the opportunity to grow + develop, along with work with.
