Builder. Operator. Angel investor and startup advisor. SVP at Guild.
I've spent almost two decades building products used by millions — at TripAdvisor, Craftsy, and Guild — and now spend most of my time on the frontier of AI, workforce, and what comes next.
Supporting Founders
I'm an early-stage angel investor and advisor, focused on businesses built to compound — marketplaces, resilient systems (energy, ag), workforce and education, and the intersection of AI and human purpose. Learn more.
Writing
On what AI does to the management layer and why most organizations are responding to a coordination crisis by ignoring it.
On what happens to work, roles, and organizations when AI absorbs coordination — and only judgment remains.
What makes a business genuinely hard to replicate — and the human forces that make it hard to abandon.
Things I'm exploring
An AI transformation platform that helps organizations understand, redesign, and execute their work. Task Ignite is currently in closed beta. I'm here to support the founders.
A study on how great decisions actually get made. Read the findings.
A project I'm working on with my 7 year old to think about how OpenClaw and similar architectures can actually add value in our lives.
Friday night is Pizza Movie Night; a tradition with friends. Deciding on the movie got spicy, so the kids helped build an app to rotate who picks.
