I bring more than 25 years of experience across sales, marketing, finance, and operations, with a track record of successfully scaling multiple companies. I enjoy working with founders to challenge assumptions, refine business ideas, and build the financial and operational foundations needed for long-term growth.

My background allows me to evaluate business models from multiple perspectives—from strategy and financial planning to storytelling and investor communications. I'm passionate about supporting entrepreneurs because I believe strong startups create stronger communities, and mentoring founders is one of the ways I contribute to Chicago's entrepreneurial ecosystem while staying connected to the innovation community.
