Executive In Residence @ Balderton Capital

About

I bring a nearly 360-degree perspective to enterprise software. I've been CEO of two different startups for a combined twelve years. I've been CMO of three different startups, combined for more than 12 years. I started my career answering calls in technical support and worked my way up. And I've served on the boards of 10 startups, both VC- and PE-backed. While most of my work these days is with companies in the $0 to $100M size range, I've been a CMO from $0 to $1B in revenues, GM of a $500M business unit within a $3B company, and CEO from $0 to nearly $100M.
