I Was You 10 Years Ago | Navigate Your Startup Career
Hi, I am Carson. I'm an operations, strategy, and growth leader with 13 years of experience turning ambiguous, 0-to-1 challenges into scalable, revenue-generating businesses. My startup career began at Uber in 2014, where I focused on top-of-funnel supply growth, churn prevention, and city launches across North and South America. I then joined the UberEats business and helped launch the product across the US and India, eventually overseeing a $100M P&L. I've built and scaled early-stage marketplaces in over 100 cities to date, and am keenly aware of the market nuances and playbook tactics associated with each launch. I have made my career as a generalist operator and advisor for 20+ marketplace startups, and know how to execute from pilot to scale. I've operated every layer of a marketplace at almost every stage of a startup. On a personal level, I am a father of twins, am currently getting my MBA at Kellogg, and spend my days training for my next Ironman 70.3, skiing, and fly fishing as much as possible. If you're looking to join a startup, pursue an MBA, building a marketplace, scaling a growth function, or navigating a critical step, I can help. I am here to help talk through your hardest challenges and provide insights from my journey.
