About
Coach. Advisor. Operator. CEO.
I'm currently a coach and advisor to startup founders, as a partner at Enjoy The Work. Before that I was CEO of Onward and led product teams at Airbnb. Before that, two more companies. The details below.

Curious if we'd work well together?
I take on a small number of engagements at a time. The way to start is a short conversation.
