About
With over 15 years of experience in the technology industry, I am passionate about coaching founders of growth-stage companies to be successful leaders and happy people. I partner with CEOs and executives who have a vision to scale their businesses, innovate their products, and create positive impact in their markets and communities. As the founder of Sherlock Advisors, I work with a select group of clients who represent $7 billion in market cap and have an average value of $750 million. I help them navigate the challenges and opportunities of leading high-growth teams, developing strategic partnerships, and raising capital. I also leverage my expertise in design tools, data analytics, and strategic partnerships to advise and invest in multiple tech companies, such as Crossbeam, Runway, Segment, Framer, and Nylas. I serve on the board of Eat App, a leading restaurant reservation platform in the Middle East, as well as the Pacific Primary School in San Francisco.
