✪ CEO @GorillaBranders ✪ Partner @SlingshotSV ✪ Love Entrepreneurship ✪ Empower Organizations With Art And Technology ✪

Advertising / Marketing / PR

I’m at my best when inspiring people to do the greatest work of their lives. This is why I enjoy the crazy ideas and bold risks that can lead to uncommon success in the start-up environment. Spending my career empowering companies to leverage the art of branding with the science of technology has been very fulfilling. I am the CEO at Gorilla Branders (growth hacking marketing agency) and General Partner at Slingshot SV (Silicon Valley incubator / accelerator). As a tenth generation resident of The San Francisco Bay, I have built a strong network; however, I believe earning the trust and respect of the people I am closest with is what is most significant. I love my family!!
