Partner & Head of Platform
As Partner and Head of Platform, I work with our studio team to identify, assess and launch startups while assisting our founders in developing their teams and products. My career began in the business world, with 3.5 years at McKinsey and 5 years at Berkshire Partners, where I helped launch Stockbridge (now a multi-billion-dollar public equity fund). From there I moved into the startup world, serving as COO of one venture-backed startup (CustomMade) and founder/CEO of another (HelloShopper). These experiences led me to Wayfair, where I spent 7 years leading consumer Product, Design, Analytics and Merchandising for a 600-person technology org delivering digital experiences to millions of customers around the world, supporting the company’s growth from $3B to $13B. At Gemini, I draw on my experience and network to help us bring great companies to life, and help them thrive.

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.

Product Lead
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.

VP, Product
As VP, Product at Gemini I help identify our next big ideas and transform them into market-ready products that serve both customer needs and business growth exceptionally well. I work in lockstep with our studio team, our founders, and our target users.
I started my career as an early employee at RueLaLa where I played a crucial role in building operations and systems that led to 25x revenue growth. I then drove Customer Experience transformation for Fortune 500 companies at Forrester Research before relocating to San Francisco where I worked on two series A IoT products (Olio Devices and Juicero). I merged my passion for tech and fine wine at Vinfolio, transforming the entire company from a pen-and-paper orientation into one that could scale growth through intelligent systems and data, resulting in 4x revenue growth in 3 years. I returned to Boston in 2020 as a Product Director at Wayfair overseeing fintech, payments, and loyalty. I completed my MBA at Harvard Business School and have a bachelor's degree in Psychology from The George Washington University.

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.

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.

VP, Venture Development
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.

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.

As the VP 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.
