I build products, teams, and startups.
Currently, I lead Briza's API product team to build insurance-as-a-services APIs & SDK that power the most delightful commercial insurance user experiences for SMBs, brokers, underwriters, and fintech developers. I previously led our product/engineering recruiting program, 3x'ing our headcount in 9 months. We closed our Series A in November 2020.
Previously, as Locke Bio's founding Head of Product, I built and ran our direct-to-consumer health and data products. This included Truman Health and Genre Health, and their patient intake, assessments, prescriptions, clinical, and payments infrastructure. I helped raise the angel and seed financing rounds, and hired its core product, engineering, and clinical teams. The team continues to grow its impact in the Canadian and US healthcare space at an exponential rate, focused on offering a B2B go-to-market strategy.
At Caravan Ventures - and occasionally as an angel investor - I invest in and advise startups, including: BlackCart, CareerJSM, Looka, Combo, and PostageApp.
Before that, I co-founded a litigation financing & crowdfunding platform, helped build a pre-construction condo marketplace, ran community for an $18MM crypto ICO, and built several failed startups, including a physician services marketplace.
In another life, I published peer reviewed health sciences research, taught global health at McMaster U., and consulted for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
In my free time I enjoy studying public markets, learning how to play poker, writing musicals, jazz/1990s Japanese city pop, and lurking Twitter.
