Co-Founder &Â General Partner
As General Partner and Co-Founder of Gemini, I deploy my experience and network to help our founders and portfolio companies move faster and scale more ambitiously. I’ve started and led multiple ventures across the public and private sectors, including Notarize the first online notarization platform.  Through these experiences, I employed hundreds of people on high-performing teams, raised over $300M in capital from top investors, built long-term partnerships with leading global brands, and created more than $1B in equity value while transforming how people experience life’s most important moments - such as buying or selling a home. In my role, I drive the Studio’s strategic vision and work alongside world-class founders to navigate the complexity of going from zero to scale.

Co-Founder &Â General Partner
As General Partner and Co-Founder of Gemini, I leverage my deep network and in-the-trenches experience to supercharge founders and portfolio companies. I've started dozens of ventures, most notably Convene and Evojets, employed thousands of employees, received hundreds of millions of dollars in funding, and helped drive $1B+ of revenue. Â In my role, I support founders as they navigate high consequence decisions and provide them with access to critical resources, clients, and partnerships.

Senior Product Manager
I help ventures quickly home in on product-market fit through iterative product discovery research and prototyping. I pride myself on connecting the big picture to implementation details and being an easy collaborator. Over the past 5 years, I've helped spark and shape strategic transformations at a wide range of startups and institutions, including Harvard Business Review and Novartis Pharmaceuticals. At Gemini, I'm excited to tackle complex problems at the intersection of infrastructure and socioeconomics.

Principal &Â Business Operations
I manage our internal operations and work in lockstep with the rest of our amazing studio team to guide ventures on their journey from inception to scale. Prior to becoming the first hire at Gemini, I spent close to a decade in senior operating and go-to-market roles at hyper-growth technology companies in San Francisco, London, and Boston - most notably Mixpanel and Notarize which both grew exponentially during my tenure. I enjoy finding the balance between rapid growth and thoughtful operational design and am lucky to be in a position to do so repeatedly at Gemini.

Head of Finance
I am an experienced finance professional and entrepreneur with over a decade of startup, corporate finance, and fundraising experience. Prior to joining Gemini Ventures, I was the CFO of 1Health, an end-to-end software platform designed to optimize the workflows and capabilities of clinical laboratories in the diagnostic testing industry. In 2015, I cofounded Pillo Health, a healthcare technology company that I sold to Stanley Black & Decker in 2020.
In a previous life I worked at Morgan Stanley Investment Bank and was the VP of Partnerships and a board member of InSITE, a competitive fellowship program focused on strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem in New York City. I completed my MBA at Columbia Business School and have a bachelor’s degree in Economics from Brown University.

Product Design Lead
I focus on helping ventures crystalize product vision and design their first end-to-end customer experience to achieve product-market fit. Before Gemini, I spent four years at Google where I helped the News team create its design vision and launch products used by millions of users and thousands of publishers. In addition to designing at scale, I’ve been an early employee at several high-growth Boston startups such as Catalant and Lola, where I collaborated closely with founders to design, prototype, and iterate on digital product experiences that users love.

Head of Innovation &Â Design
I drive activities and strategies to transform raw ideas into well-loved products in the real world. My goals are to both help the studio team master and execute this transformation process and to serve as the best possible partner to our founders. Prior to Gemini, I helped many Fortune 500 companies (such as Coca-Cola and Fidelity) future-proof their teams and businesses through strategic innovation projects using design-thinking and rapid experimentation. I have also been an active member of the vibrant Boston startup scene and a design leader and team builder at multiple high-growth technology startups such as Catalant and Ecovent. At Gemini, I am excited to combine my startup agility and innovation rigor to help founders solve complex problems, avoid costly mistakes, and achieve product-market fit faster.

Venture Development Lead
At Gemini, I focus on sourcing and qualifying new opportunities and helping validate early-stage studio ventures. Prior to joining the studio, I spent my entire career-to-date in real estate at both the asset and investment-vehicle level. Identifying inefficiencies in real estate market structures and creating innovative and accretive data/technology-driven solutions is my passion.
At Gemini, I am most excited to be surrounded by such a passionate and high-caliber team. Bringing frontier business design concepts (and validation methodologies) to the real estate world is a dream for me - and at Gemini, a reality.

Head of Engineering
As the Head of Engineering at Gemini, I help our companies develop and launch their products. I work closely with product, design and founding teams to build great experiences. I have founded two startups and joined two others (Drizly and Lola) as an engineering lead. As a consultant, I helped venture backed founders architect and implement their initial products, raise funding and recruit their engineering teams. At Gemini, I’m excited to collaborate with and have an impact on companies in the earliest stages of development.
