About

Modern builder blending finance rigor, automation, and relationship design.

Current focus

Leading BizOps for Business Development, Fundraising, Account Management, and Investor Success at Wefunder; building automation, segmentation, and tooling pipelines so teams can operate with fewer meetings and more impact.

Process

  • Segmented founder emails by sector and raise size for precise nurturing.
  • Reengaged investors by prior activity and areas of interest.
  • Built self-serve dashboards (SQL, Zapier, Make) to track fundraising stages, campaign performance, and operational health.

Why it matters

I build for clarity: fewer tools, decisive data, and experiences that let founders spend more time building their business.

Experience
