Experience

My experience consists of product leadership roles in consumer tech, co-founding two companies that pioneered early applications of generative AI.

As the Co-founder & CEO of Podz, I led development of a podcast discovery platform acquired by Spotify, resulting in the “largest update in Spotify’s history.” Prior to Podz, I co-founded Qwiki, a startup acquired by Yahoo! that created an award-winning iPhone app.

My career began in TV production at Comedy Central’s Daily Show. As an undergrad, I helped launch one of the first student-run film festivals (it’s still a thing!). 

Collaborating with the team at Podz and Qwiki was a lifetime highlight. We approached our work with a sense of joy and a focus on craftsmanship, building products that reached tens of millions of people.

I am now primarily active as an advisor to consumer-focused venture funds/startups and Pencils of Promise, a New York-based non profit that builds primary schools in the developing world.
