Executive Vice President

AcademixDirect enables people to find a career path, connect that career to a community or state college, get enrolled and ultimately provides services designed to keep them in school through graduation. After the company I co-founded was acquired by AcademixDirect, I oversaw the transition/integration as well as other strategic and BD initiatives.

CEO
2012 - 2017
Co-founder and CEO at PathSource. Along with co-founder Alex Li and a great team, we built the premier career education app in the US. The company created the world's largest library of short online informational interviews on video along with a suite of cutting edge tools to connect the dots between education, careers, lifestyle and budget. Result: The mobile app was the #1 ranked career app on the Apple App Store and the #2 college app. We also created the #2 ranked resume app. PathSource was the career partner of the GED and numerous universities and high schools around the country. PathSource went through a process that ultimately yielded several competing offers. We selected one of them and were acquired by AcademixDirect.

Fantasy Politics

Co-Founder

This was fantasy football for politics, designed to get young people engaged in politics and civics ahead of the 2012 election. We built a killer team, inked deals with organizations ranging from Rock the Vote to the National College Republicans, and offered an in-depth educational game. Coverage included: USA Today, Politico, CNET, Venturebeat, Hearst television, etc. I received the Innovation Rockstar award from the Boston Business Journal and Mass High Tech in part due to our work on this fantastic game.
