About

Today, I serve as a Strategic Venture Advisor to Radicle Growth, an innovation and investment platform backing breakthrough food and ag technologies. I work directly with major retailers, co-ops, and producers to identify opportunities for pilots, strategic sponsorship, and commercial scale. With more than 20 years of leading BlackPoint Partners and supporting founders, CEOs, and investors, primarily in technology and innovation-driven businesses, I bring a strong track record in precision hiring and business development outreach that accelerates go-to-market success. The goal is simple: bring the right innovation to the right relationships, faster.
