I work at the intersection of entrepreneurship, capital, workforce, and policy to expand who has access to opportunity and who benefits from economic growth.

Why This Work Matters

I started my career helping companies offshore operations before moving into private equity and later economic development. Those experiences gave me a firsthand view of how capital moves, how businesses grow, and how communities compete for jobs and investment. They also led me to a question that would shape the rest of my career: Who benefits from these systems and who gets left behind?

I saw talented people get left out, not because they lacked ability, but because success is shaped by more than individual effort. That's why my work focuses on expanding access to opportunity and changing the systems that determine who gets it.

Let’s work together.
