I consult for and advise small to medium tech companies, with particular focus on fintech and consumer marketplace businesses. Recent clients have included Barchart (financial publisher), Floatme (fintech startup), Quinstreet (public financial services marketplace company), Modernize (home improvement services marketplace), RateGenius (auto refinance marketplace), and Self Financial (fintech startup). I served as an independent board member for a Self Financial, Floatme, and KindHealth. Prior to my consulting and advising roles, I was at The Zebra, where I oversaw half of the company's business operations including the call center P&L, insurance carrier relationships, strategic traffic and monetization partnerships, and finance/accounting. I helped grow The Zebra from a pre-revenue seed-stage venture to an 8-figure revenue company that secured a $17MM Series A round. Prior to The Zebra, I was in charge of all monetization efforts at CreditCards.com, and helped double the company's revenue to just under $200MM. I received my BS and MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon and my MBA from UT Austin.
