About

I build early marketing at companies where the product is hard to explain - primarily for AI, and developer tools teams.Now, I'm leading marketing as the first marketing hire at Ode with Anthropic.I led Product Marketing for Noir at Aztec - the open-source programming language enabling privacy for the EU mobile wallet, World's Proof-of-Humanity (the eyeball scanning orb company), and more.Before that, I was Polygon's sole marketing hire on Polygon ID (verifiable credentials) and Avail, and spent ~2 years spinning Avail out into its own company - launching it as a $1.5B protocol. Earlier, I led marketing at Namebase (DNS infrastructure, acquired by Namecheap) and at a no-code dev shop in SF that shipped software for 100s of businesses during the pandemic.For university, I was part of the first class at Minerva, studying in six countries over four years. Minerva is the most selective undergraduate program in the US and WURI's #1 most innovative university in the world for 5 years running.
