Overview

I've spent 11 years on marketplace operations - first at General Motors, now at Saffron Finance. Rebuilt the planning process the company still runs every quarter. Before that: Robinhood and BlackRock. Most at home with unit economics and business operations. I teach a weekend class on business operations.
