Hi there! I'm
Currently Founding Ops at Vitalize; writing at Your Friend Stan.
I care about climate, social good, and building things that help people.
I'm a serial employee #1 with multiple pre-seed -> series A scale-ups + an acquisition under my belt. Early product, operations, and talent are my bread and butter.
Vitalize
Healthtech; Employee #5
I joined Vitalize at barebones MVP + one customer; I helped complete our v1 product and then led end-to-end enterprise healthtech deployments at our 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, and 9th customers. Was directly responsible for generating 7-figures in live ARR in under a year, landing us a $25M Series A.
Samaritan
Social Care; Employee #9
At Samaritan, I saved 6 figures in salaries by automating 75% of new customer success workflows; I then raised 6-figures in charitable fundraising from foundations + HNWIs to support our users. My work extended our runway just long enough to close a private Series A and scale our team to 30+ FTEs.
Atmos.ai
Climatetech; Employee #1
I joined Atmos at zero; no product, no team, fundraising incomplete. I built the deck that got us a $2M seed round, defined our ICP and made our first sale, then built + defined our v1 product for said ICP. We were acquired by WAP Sustainability ($21M ARR), then by SLR Consulting ($600M ARR).
At work, I try to help design + Claude Code features where feasible, to reduce the burden on my technical team.
At home, I do one-off designs for fun, and run a friends-and-family clothing brand at cost for creative fulfillment :)
