    Successfully founded and grew InterPrime into a leading Treasury Management provider for startups & middle market businesses. InterPrime was acquired by Rho in Feb 2022 and now lives on as Rho Prime Treasury. InterPrime offered an automated treasury management service that helped businesses keep their cash safe, secure and earning market rates of return with minimal effort. We managed over a quarter of a billion dollars in aggregate for clients while successfully navigating the wild swings in the rate environment over the last few years. All the while attracting new capital to InterPrime. We were funded by the top investors in Silicon Valley (YCombinator, Tribe Capital, Pioneer Fund, NoMo Ventures). We were picked as one of the top startups from YC Demo Day (W19) by TechCrunch and became a leader in Treasury Management for middle market businesses & startups. https://interprime.co/ https://www.interprime.co/blog

  • Product Advisor

    2023 - 2023

    I helped Memfault staff up their product team by hiring 2PMs & a Designer. I also drove the inclusion of the "voice of the customer" into the product development process and developed the strategy for GTM & Product collaboration as the company scales post Series B. Memfault is the first IoT reliability platform that empowers teams to build robust devices at scale. Today's hardware teams have little insight into how their products are performing and what issues are driving the majority of field failures; with Memfault, they can operate with the same speed and agility as software companies.
