Formerly a Principal at Google’s AI Fund, Gradient Ventures, and currently serving as Director, Strategy & Operations at Sona (getsona.com). In my venture experience, I've sourced and led investments in cutting-edge B2B SaaS and AI/ML companies, and served on multiple boards. My expertise extends to advising founders on business strategy, financial modeling, and venture capital fundraising. I am passionate about empowering entrepreneurs to successfully bring their technologies to market. 10+ years of experience in technology, particularly early-stage startups. Expertise in advising founders, serving on boards, leading venture financings, and mergers & acquisitions. During my time at Gradient Ventures, built the fund’s follow-on financing support function. After leaving Gradient, launched Moose Advisory, advising founders directly. Led client engagements focused heavily on Series A & B prep. Companies supported have received term sheets and consummated investment rounds from top-tier funds including: Accel, Bain, Bessemer, Felicis, Craft, General Catalyst, Insight, Lightspeed, and Sequoia. Joined Sona as a Director of Strategy & Operations in early 2024. First U.S. based hire for this London-HQ’d startup focused on frontline WFM. First responsibility was to help the company raise their Series A — successfully consummated with multiple offers from top-tier funds. Felicis led the investment round, with Northzone joining, for a total $27.5M Series A raise.
