Case Study

I've led strategy and operations from early-stage startups to $800M+ scale, most recently leading strategic initiatives at Weee!, the largest ethnic e-grocer in the US. I've gone from zero-to-one launching startups with Atomic VC ($400M AUM venture studio that launched hims/hers), to running operations at high-growth startups such as Warby Parker.

Some other things I've learned a ton from doing are founding a real estate company with revenues of $3M+ as a side-project, consulting for Fortune 50 tech firms such as Microsoft and GE, and leading cyber-wargaming operations at the Singapore Armed Forces.

As a fractional COO and startup advisor, I've advised startups backed by VCs such as Sequoia Capital and First Round, among others. In this work I usually leverage my experience leading organizations with upwards of 150 people, managing end-to-end supply chains from product development through manufacturing, warehousing and transportation, expanding through multiple channels, and setting up companies for scale and sustainable growth.

My passions include cycling through Marin's beautiful hills (photo above is from one of my favorite rides), adventure travel (50+ countries), and advising and investing in startups.
