Serial entrepreneur with more than 25 years of experience building award-winning products and platforms.
I currently serve as the co-founder and Head of R&D at DRINKS (drinks.com), where I drive strategy and innovation for the DRINKS platform and data science initiatives, including its patented PAIR (Predictive AI Retailing) technology.
Prior to co-founding DRINKS, I served as the founding CTO for Hydra, the $100mil+ digital ad platform (acquired by Adknowledge in 2010), as the co-founder and CTO of Urbaniacs (acquired by Brandissimo in 2007), and as the first lead engineer hired by NeoPets in 2000, where I led the team that scaled the site to over 30 million players in just over 2 years.
I am a builder at heart, driven by a natural curiosity and a strong belief in the disruptive power of entrepreneurship, and I am an active mentor, advisor, and angel investor in more than 30 startups.
