Operator & Builder

For two decades, I’ve helped turn technology into products, partnerships, markets, and scalable businesses.

My career began at the intersection of sports, media, and public relations, working within professional American football organizations including the San Francisco Demons, Oakland Raiders, Detroit Lions, and Rhein Fire in Germany.

I transitioned into technology and enterprise sales through roles at ADP, Actuate, and CareerBuilder, building an early foundation in SaaS, direct sales, and commercial execution.

I later moved into the emerging world of programmatic advertising, helping commercialize early video marketplaces and infrastructure across digital video, mobile, and connected TV.

I went on to hold leadership roles at Civic, Turn (acquired by Amobee/Singtel), Collective (acquired by Zeta Global), and Adap.tv (acquired by AOL), with responsibility spanning P&L and business-unit leadership, product strategy, commercialization, go-to-market, strategic partnerships, and global market expansion.

I founded and built Stitch Video, scaling its global media distribution and monetization business before its acquisition in 2023. After experiencing cybercrime firsthand, I founded DFend and built an identity-centric digital safety platform.

Today, I advise LvlUp Ventures and theMiracle, serve as Board Chair of The Defend Foundation, and am the award-winning author of Privacy Pandemic.
