“Lifelong entrepreneur and early Pixar employee who has spent decades in the Bay Area, New York, and Europe building companies and operating in venture ecosystems. He has raised $20M via ICO, raised £3M for a London venture studio, and brings a strong point of view on AI: product creation is commoditizing, so durable startups need a distribution edge.”

“Engineering leader who drove Lightroom Mobile’s roadmap at Adobe by enforcing reuse of Photoshop imaging tech to deliver RAW, non-destructive mobile editing with full Creative Cloud compatibility. In startup environments, has repeatedly scaled and professionalized engineering orgs (career ladders, evaluation systems, delivery process) and led high-stakes cloud/platform transformations—migrating off Heroku and consolidating fragmented AWS/GCP usage into a single GCP platform—improving reliability, deploy speed, and cutting cloud costs by 20%+.”

“Operations and leadership advisor with experience scaling and globalizing large and growing businesses, including Reebok’s expansion from ~$1B to ~$3B and Student Advantage’s rapid roll-up (15 acquisitions in 18 months). Known for post-merger/ERP-driven process redesign, building customer/metric feedback loops (NPS, time-to-ship), and coaching founders/executives across industries (tech, healthcare, biopharma, B2B SaaS/sports tech).”
