About Me

PREVIOUS WORK
Since beginning my journey as a Computer Engineer, I have co-founded 5 startups, taken one startup through an accelerator, and launched four major innovation initiatives at one of the world’s largest product development businesses (including an internal incubator/makerspace and external accelerator).

BIO
In my semi-professional life, I enjoy mentoring students and startups; traveling to new places to try new foods (and moving – I’ve lived in Australia, South Africa, England, Abu Dhabi, and North America); motivational speaking on entrepreneurship/intrapreneurship; and growing my perspective through unique experiences and people. I am passionate about teamwork, education, empathy, and technology; and not just “technology as a buzzword” – the type of technology that requires passion and years of hard work just to get off the ground.
