Grow your startup with a Duke Professor/Former-Founder & 125+ Advising Wins

I have been a founder, advisor, and educator at the highest levels, giving me insights – that no one else has! – on the decisions and actions that allow founders to win. Since joining Duke's faculty, I've worked 1:1 with 125 founders across all stages and industries. I've taught award-winning MBA courses ("The Favorite Course of MBAs," Poets&Quants), led investment accelerators (Melissa & Doug Entrepreneurs), and have helped founders start, scale, exit, and pivot their careers in startups. Before teaching, I bootstrapped Closure – a funeral industry software company – and went from "startup idea" to a 25-employee, 8-figure exit in 5 years.
