Building a rich and diverse ecosystem and financial platform for healthcare and life sciences businesses to increase the pace of innovation, improve the efficacy of care, and increase the efficiency of the US healthcare market.

Scaling the community of VCs, Accelerators, Advisors, and Service Providers that support companies raising capital to create a more equitable and efficient entrepreneurial and innovation system globally.

We simplify early stage startup funding and investing. My role in this mission is to support Founders to use the new tools made available by Equity CrowdFunding to create a more equitable and efficient startup funding experience so that every great team and idea can find its tribe and grow with them! We achieve this by developing strategic community partnerships to educate Founder communities and provide highly qualified issuer relationships, internal qualification, and support teams and processes. I also lead our Product Marketing function developing GTM strategies and managing their implementation across strategic partnerships, paid, and unpaid channels.

Contributed to the development of innovative funding models for startups with a small industry leading team by refining the strategy and defining the product that combines the liquidity of equity crowdfunding and deep knowledge of expert investors/ business managers/ entrepreneurs.

I develop strategy and operations systems to enable Verana's continued rapid pace of scale. I partner with organization leaders to develop the tools and processes that support Verana defining and managing its overarching goals and strategies. I also perform business, strategy, and market analysis in order to help refine components of the organization wide strategy for executive stakeholders. Additionally, I lead and partner with the program management functions across multiple organizations to approach the "little things" with as much energy as we do the big strategies. I do this by selecting the right tools (Atlassian Suite, Asana, Salesforce.com, tableau, and others), managing their implementations, and managing the business process changes to take advantage of them. Most notably, I lead the agile transformation of 2 product & engineering organizations and the implementation of SFDC as the business process platform for the organization. Both of which will support the scale of the organization for years to come.
