I’m the CEO and Co-Founder of mHUB and Managing Partner of the mHUB Product Impact Fund, where I focus on advancing hardtech and manufacturing entrepreneurship to drive economic growth and innovation. Since launching mHUB in 2017, I’ve helped build one of the nation’s fastest-growing innovation centers, supporting hundreds of startups and manufacturers in bringing products to market, securing funding, and scaling their businesses. My background spans entrepreneurship, economic development, and public policy. Prior to mHUB, I led manufacturing-focused economic development initiatives at World Business Chicago and served as a Mayoral Fellow for the City of Chicago. I also served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Panama, working with local organizations to expand economic opportunity. I’m passionate about helping founders navigate the complexities of building companies, accessing capital, and creating meaningful economic and community impact.
