General Partner, Enjoy the Work

With 16+ years experience spanning management, sales and marketing, operations, and analytics, I’ve spent time working for nonprofits and for-profits, agency and in-house, Fortune 100s, and startups.

Tapping my expertise in data-informed operations, I founded Quantified Ardor in 2016 and developed a proprietary methodology to advise growing startups around the world on data-driven decision making.

I’ve also spent the last 6 years as an advisor while holding multiple COO positions for startups at various stages. I’m a mentor with Google Launchpad, Endeavor, 500 Startups, plus several VCs and accelerators in SF, London, and Mexico City and most recently was an Expert in Residence at First Round Capital, advising their portfolio companies on operations and analytics.

I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to bring my first-hand experience to the Enjoy The Work team, where I’m afforded the chance to work closely with dozens of passionate founders.

There's no such thing as a stupid question—but there are plenty of questions nobody asks, because they're taboo. How do you fire a co-founder? When is it okay to lie to your employees? Can you take orders before you know you can deliver on them? How accurate do forward-looking statements need to be in a pitch deck? We're creating round table conversations for the questions everybody ponders but nobody says out loud. See more.
