Founder, entrepreneur and seasoned executive with 15 years of experience commercializing technology products, leading teams and delivering outcomes for clients across digital marketing, marketing and advertising technology. Currently I am spending my time at the intersection of business, technology and politics leading Seven Letter Labs. Labs is a technology enabled consultancy focused on solving complex challenges facing corporations, governments, advocacy groups, and non-profits using big data and digital tools. Previously I co-founded SummitSync with Al Torres because we saw a giant opportunity to revolutionize the way sales and marketing teams leveraged conferences and trade shows. We were successfully acquired in February of 2020. Prior to founding SummitSync, I was the Head of Corporate Development for Telemetry, a London-based digital media forensics company. I've held senior sales roles at Edo Interactive, where I served as Director of Category Development; Brand.net as Regional Sales Director; and various positions during my tenure with Advertising.com/AOL. Outside of work I am not taking myself too seriously as I attempt to figure out what I am going to do when I grow up. Exploring how we prioritize ideas, learning and growing with the time we have left in life.

Connecting people and how technology can bring them help convene, connect, and allow people to collaborate in positive change in the world in both small and scaled ways.

I have always wanted to attend TED ever since I found out about it over a decade ago. I never really knew how and then a wonderful person who has been, who I don't know, showed me how. This person took time out of their day and with complete kindness led me to how to get an invite. Something I am profoundly grateful for and hope I get to pay forward.
