Overview

Founder of Quarry Energy (vertical SaaS for clinics). 18 years of building before that. Grew the team to 36 people across 2 countries. Raised $19 million across 2 rounds. Before that: Goldman Sachs and BrowserStack. Most at home with fundraising and go-to-market. I mentor first-time managers when I can.
