I’ve spent more than two decades building and scaling technology businesses — as a founder, operator, and board-level partner. Before starting Paceline, I helped grow companies, led large-scale organizations, and guided teams through the inflection points that determine success – or failure.
Across my career, I’ve worked at the intersection of product, operations, and emerging technology — applying transformative tech from e-commerce and digital marketplaces, to mobile, to speech recognition, to machine learning, and now AI. I’ve built teams from zero to hundreds, designed products used by millions, and executed the work that precedes and follows M&A — from diligence and deal structuring through post-acquisition integration.
My executive and founding roles have included:
Chief Solutions Officer, Lighthouse Global — scaled technology-enabled services, including the application of industry-best AI, to market leading growth, net revenue retention, and record revenue.
EVP & COO, Donuts (now Identity Digital) — part of outstanding leadership team, leading product, operations, marketing and sales, culminating in outstanding growth and PE merger.
Co-founder & CEO, Jott Networks — built one of the first voice-to-text services, acquired by Nuance.
VP, Voice to Text Services, Nuance — grew a brand new global business from zero to over 80M MAUs.
Managing Director, Expedia — helped pioneer travel ecommerce in its infancy, leading the company's first international launches (UK, Germany, Australia), its first business travel focussed product, and its first mobile product (Expedia To Go).
The blend of founder commitment, operating discipline, and M&A experience shapes how I work with clients today.
