About

I have spent my career developing operational experience both domestically and internationally as a entrepreneur, early employee, accelerator staff member, and early stage VC scout. Through my roles, I’ve been afforded the privilege to work Stanford’s top entrepreneurs, Corporate Innovation teams across the Fortune 500, and a range of grassroots organizations in developing countries addressing challenges within their communities. I currently sit as a VP of Strategic Partnerships managing the StartX, YC, SkyDeck and Plug & Play relationships. My job is to work with our partners to best identify the needs of their founders and leverage SVB’s extensive network and resources with the goal of increasing their companies likelihood of success. If you are a member of these communities please reach out, my job is to help you. I am honored to act as a mentor to the Miller Center for Entrepreneurship abroad and volunteer locally at City Hope to help them improve the lives of our neighbors here in the Tenderloin.
