Over three decades across talent management, business operations and digital marketing pulled me deep into the startup world. And I never left. As co-founder and CEO of Startup Steroid , I’ve built a platform that streamlines how investors run their entire investment process.
I’ve sat through 5,000+ pitches, reviewed more than 10,000 decks, backed 50+ early-stage companies, and I manage a $3M fund dedicated to early ventures. Through TiE, from Executive Director and President of TiE SoCal to Chair of TiE SoCal Angels and now the TiE Global Board of Trustees, I’ve helped build the ecosystem founders lean on.
I also founded Optizm Global, an executive search firm built to assemble high-performing teams. Across every role, one thing has stayed constant: quality deliverables and straight, genuinely useful advice.
