Private Equity Investor at Defy Partners Management LLC
Profile
I’m an investment partner at defy.
As a founder, serial entrepreneur and former leadership team member at Skype, LinkedIn and Stripe, I’ve experienced all facets of startup life—from founding companies and raising capital to scaling growth, partnerships and M&A.
I’m excited to partner with and mentor the next generation of founders in category-leading technology businesses.
I serve on the Boards of GajiGesa, Elevate Security, and Aircover.
In addition to my work as an entrepreneur and executive, I’ve been an active angel investor and advisor to companies including Stripe, Workato, Tenor (acquired by Google), Cursor Data (Data Robot), MindMeld (Cisco), Instawork, Tonal Fitness, Accord, Prairie Health, Curated, Hamsa Pay, Catch and Ava Finance.
