I help YOU, the CEO, The Founder, tell your story with Passion, Precision, and Performance. Access to Silicon Valley and its investment ecosystem is all about gaining mindshare, getting to the next meeting with the right VC and expediting your fundraising process.

I have assembled an impressive team to give you remote and local access to the highest profile VC's. We help YOU open the right doors. WE become your trusted advisor through the process we call the: THE VENTURE GAMES...its riskier than the Hunger Games!

I have over over 15 years experience working with start-up technology companies to develop and present their stories to investors, partners and customers. I started my career in finance for a large New York-based bank, where I became a vice president. I returned to Silicon Valley in the 1990’s as a founding member of the team that produced The Red Herring, a revolutionary publication that provided investment analysis of the technology marketplace. I formed an ecommerce company, Firefly, to deliver B2B enterprise solutions for transaction management.

Most recently, I was managing director at Redfish Ventures, where I helped numerous startups establish relationships with and present to venture capitalists and strategic partners. I understand the entrepreneurs’ perspective and the importance of storytelling for companies focused on gaining traction, scaling and growing their businesses.

I earned an undergraduate degree from Boston College and a graduate degree from Columbia University.
