Currently supports a music/entertainment organization, mentoring non-business creatives on business and finance while driving profitability and growth.”

“Serial entrepreneur and former CEO who founded a startup ~15 years ago, raised $13M, scaled it to a multi-million-dollar tech business with tens of employees, and led it through acquisition. Currently exploring an AI-first "vibe engineering" / factory operations platform to address skilled labor shortages in low-tech engineering and rising demand from data center and physical infrastructure buildouts, with early customer discovery indicating strong willingness to pay.”

“Founder of Photosphere Labs (agentic AI for ecommerce data synthesis/analysis) who worked directly with customers to scope, build, demo, and iterate LLM-based solutions, including an AI chat product for brand owners. Previously at Block, built and explained a nuanced causal inference/propensity model tied to Square POS integrations, translating model specs and outputs into business impact for varied client contexts.”

“Two-decade CEO/EVP Product operator with multiple founder-level and public-company turnarounds, known for implementing an AOP-driven execution cadence and rigorous decision documentation. Delivered outsized outcomes including 5x trade show performance gains, major reliability improvements (DOA down to ~1–2%), and an 18-month transformation of a shrinking product into the company’s highest-growth/highest-margin line that remained an industry leader for a decade.”

“Technology executive (10+ years in consulting) now bootstrapping a startup (No Taker Guard) with an MVP live on a marketplace and 50+ potential client engagements. Has led complex healthcare initiatives, including migrating an EMR system to the cloud via PoC, vendor collaboration, and end-to-end deployment, enabling AI analytics and telehealth capabilities while improving scalability and reducing costs.”

“Operations leader/Chief of Staff profile with experience building organizations in both government and high-growth tech. Helped stand up Senator John Fetterman’s Senate office—designing the org structure and systems for a 55-person team—and later improved planning, reporting, and OKR execution within Stripe’s legal/global policy org during rapid scaling. Now consults part-time to help executives translate strategy into execution through clear ownership, operating rhythms, and scalable systems.”

“Mobile-tech entrepreneur building AppQ (mobile.appq.ai), an agentic mobile SDK that optimizes mobile UX in real time to improve Day 1/Day 7 retention by adjusting levers like ad frequency, difficulty, messaging, and artwork. Previously co-founded an SDK-led mobile ad network (invented push notification ads), scaled to 300K+ SDK integrations, and grew revenue from $7M in 10 months to $50M the following year before exiting in 2020.”
