Profile introduction
I’m a Forward Deployed CTO at Tribe, the AI-native partner for the Fortune 1000. Our forward-deployed teams work side by side with our customers — building the AI products that matter most and enabling their people to work in fundamentally new ways. Before Tribe, I built new teams and products at Spring Health (series D-E), Curio (seed), LinkedIn (big tech), Raise (series B-C). Outside of work, I enjoy helping and investing in early-stage companies. I also write about tech leadership, startups, and mindfulness at mindfulnerd.substack.com
