About
Operator who took a seed-funded university spin-off in cybersecurity from zero revenue and heavy losses to profitability and industry leadership, while building the full internal ops stack (HR/payroll/benefits/401k) and the initial GTM engine (Salesforce/HubSpot, SPIN + MEDPICC). Personally led fundraising across 30+ VC pitches, raising $11.2M total and delivering $98M returned to investors to date, with additional upside from a subsequent spin-off.
