Overview

I started Gather Learning to fix agritech for teams who were tired of the workarounds. Took Gather Learning from zero to $8 million ARR. Previously built and sold a small agritech company. Before that: Instacart and Pinterest. Most at home with supply chain and payments. I play football every Sunday.
