Started an office products brand on Amazon.com and had a successful exit in 2022.
2016 - 2017
Product Manager
2016 - 2017
I thought the grass was greener on the other side, so I decided to try my hand at Product Management. I learned the basics of how software is developed and how to push that to the world. Notable accomplishments: - Launched a marquee product critical to the closing of our $300m round. I led the Go-To-Market strategy and gained buy-in across teams spanning engineering, sales, marketing, customers, prospects, and third-party partners. - Working cross-functionally across time zones was really hard. I had to lead dozens of meetings every week and dealt with all sorts of personalities. My main takeaway- thorough preparation is the key to gaining trust.
2014 - 2016
Principal
2014 - 2016
This was a great role where I learned what it really took to get funded. I built some awesome relationships with angels, local VCs, and entrepreneurs. Notable accomplishments: - Actively scouted 2000+ companies and conducted 30min screenings, ultimately leading to over $160m in investment across two years. - Led early due diligence of investment opportunities with a focus on technology, consumer, and life science businesses (typical deal size was $1-3M). - I socialized almost every day through lunches, dinners, after parties, which helped me hone my soft skills. I also credit this experience for converting me to an introvert (joking). - I happily say now there has finally been a few exits as of updating this.
2013 - 2013
Analyst, Tactical Asset Allocation
2013 - 2013
Thank you to APFC and my manager Jeff P. for teaching me to eat when others are talking. Notable accomplishments: - Presented key findings to the Trustees of the GE $120B Pension Trust and recommended asset allocation for the equity markets (US and International). - Organized a volunteer project at a foster home where we landscaped for all 20 interns at GE that summer. - I built a few amazing friendships that summer. I was walking on crutches and a fellow intern in the accounting department drove me to work every single day (we worked in the same building). Almost 10 years later I attended his wedding. This was a summer internship for the Financial Management Program (FMP).
