Founder and CEO @ SuperQuickQuestion (Techstars Sports '24)

About

As the founder and CEO of SuperQuickQuestion, I have been leading the development and growth of a one-on-one live video chat platform that connects fans with their favorite athletes and celebrities. Since launching in 2021, I have leveraged my skills in platform strategy, new media, and video production to create a unique and innovative product that delivers value to both users and clients. Before creating SuperQuickQuestion, I was the content and creative lead at IBM, where I worked on various projects involving enterprise design thinking, video editing, and branded content creation. I also co-founded and directed Moosedance Productions, a company that specialized in consulting for and executing branded content campaigns for clients such as Microsoft, Jose Cuervo, and Major League Baseball. I am passionate about personal interactions, efficiency, and sports, and I aim to use SuperQuickQuestion to solve problems and make connections in a fun and meaningful way.
