Bio
I am a serial entrepreneur turned investor whose work life has been centered on creating something new and discovering talent. I have worked in numerous industries and have discovered Grammy, Oscar and Emmy winning artists, created the original online short video company, run the internet’s most popular casual games web sites, built one of the first sports tracking apps, and pioneered new business models in education. I did this as a Founder and as a CEO. Entrepreneurs are my favorite kind of talent and I enjoy helping them realize their ideas and dreams for their start ups. I have worked with Accel, Raine, and Sequoia and have been fortunate to invest in multiple unicorns. Now I’m leading Lakestar as Managing Partner, a top global VC based in Europe.
