I'm an independent private investor in Silicon Valley.

I have been on the investment team at Citi Ventures, the venture capital arm of Citigroup, where I spent most of my time looking at data and analytics companies, including machine learning, artificial intelligence, Big Data infrastructure and analytics. Before this role, I was an entrepreneur and built a couple of retail technology products to improve the omnichannel shopper experience.

I've previously worked in venture capital at Bessemer Venture Partners and Longworth Venture Partners in Boston. I have previously held roles in industry research at The 451 Group and software development at Morgan Stanley. I also cofounded Whalelogix, a vertical messaging platform for retail.

I have an MBA from the Wharton School and also attended MIT in Cambridge, Mass. for my undergraduate education. I like experimental cooking, hiking, improv comedy, travel and reading.
