Prior to my current role as CEO, I was Head of Product at AWS GameTech. In that capacity, I ran ongoing BD and partnership activities for AWS GameTech including hundreds of meetings with customers, partners, vendors, and game developers. This included building relationships with industry leaders including Adobe, Microsoft, Samsung, Huawei, Intel, Red Hat, SideFX, Carbonated, and Niantic and specific in-person activations at Tokyo Game Show, Gamescom, and GDC.

The products I managed included a game engine (Lumberyard / O3DE) and a cloud streaming service that served millions of players. I wrote the strategy and owned prioritization for a team of over 120 world-class game technology developers. I also obtained over $50M for new initiatives, presenting directly to Amazon’s CEO, Andy Jassy.

For the past 3 years, I’ve been a core partner at Underscore VC. I’ve participated in due diligence and have identified targets for Corp Dev at both AWS and Acquia.

Recently, I have co-facilitated Arbitrum governance hackathons with Hack Humanity (GovHack Denver and GovHack Brussels) with a specific focus on delegate consultations and proposal triage. I also have a history of leadership in organizations with complicated governance including AIESEC, SAGE AU, and Drupal.
