I founded my first company at and was invited to speak at Harvard Business School on social entrepreneurship at age . Over the next years, I helped found additional companies. My first company was a nonprofit that I ran for years and was ultimately rolled into United Way. My second company built and managed internal crowdsourcing communities for global PR and marketing firms. It was acquired by the world's largest global PR firm, Weber Shandwick, within a year. My third company was an education start-up that was part of the summer class of Y Combinator, an incubator, described by super angel investor Ron Conway as the most prestigious identifier of entrepreneurial talent in the world. In every company I've worked in, I have been intimately involved in building the team and shaping the vision, product, and marketing strategies. I only care about working on projects and ventures that are frighteningly ambitious and hold the promise of fundamentally changing the way that millions of people work and live. I'm currently an EIRProduct Manager at the top technical recruiting firm in Silicon Valley at the intersection of employment and education. I'm incubating ideas to change the way the world approaches education, work, and access to opportunity. I love supporting entrepreneurs, engineers, and designers.
