About

I'm the CTO and Founder of Collate, an AI platform for Life Sciences companies. Collate creates and streamlines paperwork for diagnostic, medical device, and drug development companies—from concept to market. Previously, I co-founded Lever (YC S12), a leading Talent Acquisition Suite with over 5,000 customers. In my time at Lever, I led as both CEO and CTO, helped to raise $122.8 million in venture capital, and sold to Employ for $517.5 million. I also previously worked as a Visiting Group Partner at Y Combinator and a Product Manager at Google. Currently, I am a member of the Board of Trustees at Olin College, where I was a member of the school's second graduating class.
