I build category-defining companies — and the AI that runs them.
3x founder & CEO · 100+ product launches · repeated ARR builds topping $180M. Now personally shipping AI products and agents that make teams 10x more productive — the rare operator who also builds.

Let's build yours →Track record
Thirty years turning hard, emerging technology into companies people understand and buy. Founded and scaled Altrooz (mobile ad-tech, profitable in 8 months, $10M+ ARR) and BuzzLogic (NLP social analytics, $20M raised, patented). Built MSN's first profitable ad business at Microsoft; brokered the Twitter Firehose deal at Marketwire; turned around Adknowledge. Today: Head of GTM & Partnerships at Gravity AI, and building AI products end-to-end. UCLA Economics · executive AI at MIT · strategy at Harvard · blockchain at Wharton & Berkeley.
Two ways I create outsized value
1 · CEO of an early-stage, zero-to-one company. Where category creation, go-to-market, and hands-on building compound — and a founder-operator who ships product is the unfair advantage.
2 · Head of Growth & Partnerships at a scaling tech company. Architecting the revenue engine and building the AI that scales it — CRM platforms, productivity agents, and partnership programs that turn a good team into a great one.
