I have been a CEO in three companies over 15 years, all of which I started, built, and grew. One of my startups sold for $70 million in 2000; another is still growing and is a leading software provider to the nonprofit sector.
As a serial Founder/CEO I’ve had a set of startup experiences relevant to most business startups, especially venture-backed technology companies, from raising money from friends and family, angels, and venture capitalists, to designing and launching new disruptive award-winning products, to building and rebuilding teams.
CONSULTING
Now I consult to startups, investors, founders, and CEOs of companies looking to improve, catalyze rapid growth, develop and structure funding, refine product strategies, and navigate difficult governance issues.
I’m particularly interested in working helping other founders through the often stressful, sometimes painful challenges of building early stage companies.
INTERIM CEO/EXECUTIVE
Startups sometimes go through changes and require transitional leadership. I am available to serve as an interim executive to help you through such times. I can work with the existing team and investors to guide the company to greater revenue and new opportunities, while helping to find a permanent replacement.
