Experience that
shapes the work.
01 / The perspective
President & Chief Operating Officer of Raise.
Developing a full-stack programmable loyalty platform powered by AI.
I build, run, and transform technology companies. Today, my focus is putting AI to work.
I’ve spent more than two decades building, financing, and scaling technology companies. That experience shapes how I approach AI: understand what it makes possible, decide where it creates value, and do the work to make it useful.
As President and COO of Raise, I’m helping lead the company’s transformation as we develop an AI-powered, full-stack programmable loyalty platform. That means working through the product, commercial, and operating decisions that turn technology into a business.
Previously, I founded and led Notara through fundraising, growth, and acquisition by IPG. I also served as COO and Corporate Secretary of Fog Creek Software during its evolution into Glitch. Fog Creek is where Trello and Stack Overflow originated.
I write about what I’ve learned the hard way: building companies, raising capital, selling, negotiating, leading change, and applying AI to real operating and product decisions.

04 / Beyond business
Fitness is an important part of my life—a source of discipline, energy, and consistency.
I help professionals think through career transitions, leadership decisions, and the next chapter of their work.
As a volunteer child advocate in Miami-Dade, I work on behalf of children who have experienced abuse, abandonment, or neglect. I believe in giving back through time, involvement, and action.
