For two decades I've been an operator focused on helping companies create competitive advantage with data. Most recently as the Chief Product Officer at Pluralsight. And previously at GitHub, Dropbox and Google.
The shift driven by frontier models, made useful by co-pilots and leading to agents will transform every business. I'm focused on accelerating that future.
Currently, I'm advising AI and developer tool companies within Tola Capital's portfolio.
