Led TellTail through its acquisition and into its next chapter, stewarding the company's vision, team, and operations under new ownership. Drove continued growth of the platform, surpassing 1 million matches between breeders and buyers and scaling to thousands of accounts on both sides of the marketplace. Served as the connector between the founding team's deep pet industry expertise and the acquiring organization's strategic goals — ensuring continuity of product, culture, and customer relationships through the transition.

Founded TellTail with a vision to modernize how families find and bring home a pet. Raised a $3.4M seed round led by General Catalyst, with participation from key strategic angel investors, while completing my MBA at MIT Sloan. Built and scaled a cross-functional team from the ground up, fostering a culture of resilience, creativity, and deep expertise in the pet industry. Developed an innovative marketplace platform connecting responsible dog breeders with prospective buyers, bringing transparency, trust, and intentionality to a process that had long lacked all three. Guided the company from inception through growth, a lean restructuring, and ultimately a successful acquisition.
