I'm an product, operations, and product operations leader in NYC tech with a previous life as an academic philosopher.  I live in Brooklyn, grew up in Austin, with detours in Scotland, Tokyo, and most recently Pittsburgh. My PhD work examined the Philosophy of Friction, which is in no way related to my love of coffee and cooking.

I’m currently running Product Operations (Data, Stories and Process) at SecurityScorecard after spending time doing similar things around AI at Thoropass, Headliner, and BridgeFT.

I was a co-founder of Main Street (Now Hoist) to help entrepreneurs start and manage home services businesses more easily. Prior to Main Street, I was part of the founding team at Emissary, an NYC venture-backed startup focusing on connecting experts with people who need them.

Prior to Emissary (and between graduate programs), I co-founded MedicalPlexus, a medical professional networking site. I built the front-end infrastructure, guided product development, and developed partnerships with hospitals in Boston, including MGH, Brigham and Women's, and The Scheie Eye Institute.

Before I jumped into tech, I was a philosophy PhD Student at the University of Pittsburgh. My work focused on the knitting together of scientific models that dominated at very different scales (e.g., time or distance).

Prior to that, I completed an M.Phil at St Andrews on the Foundations of Mathematics, and I received an A.B. from Harvard in Philosophy of Mathematics, where my Senior Thesis was on Finite Model Theory.

In my free time, I drink coffee in local shops or travel to far away cities (and drink coffee in their local shops).  Sometimes I'm cooking; sometimes I'm listening to podcasts; often, both.
