We have a massive opportunity here to shape and create.

We are surrounded by extremely talented forward-thinkers, and our job is to help our teams and our founders grow the next great company. We have an incredible mix of talent and resources. That’s exciting. 

I believe in transparency.

Encouraging directness and for people to share opinions – especially contrarian ones – allows for progress to be achieved much faster, especially in a growing organization. 

I’m a little competitive.

I played a lot of team sports growing up, which helped awaken my competitive drive. I want my team to win. My job is to put our organization in the position to do so every day; it’s what is constantly on my mind.
