> Founder and CEO of Man Crates (acquired). Scaled to over $50M.

Founder and CEO of Man Crates (acquired), a tastefully irreverent brand synonymous with unforgettable men’s gifts. 

Inc 5000 awarded us the \#1 Fastest Growing Bay Area company in 2016, and we scaled to over $50MM annually prior to our acquisition by Modern Gourmet Foods in 2023.

As CEO, I drove corporate strategy, vision, culture, and fundraising while recruiting and motivating high-performance teams across all areas of our business. 

I also managed brand and performance marketing, built our award-winning customer service function, scaled cross-border manufacturing and logistics, and managed everything in between.

Professor at Stanford: 
1) Startup Garage, one of the popular classes at the Stanford Graduate School of Business
 2) Launchpad, an entreprenurship class at Stanford’s renowned Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (the d.school)

Things I can advise on: 
✔️ Early stage startups 
✔️ Product market fit
✔️ Going from 0 to 1
✔️ Brand building 
✔️ Fundraising from VCs
✔️ & more 

I am very passionate about sharing all of my learnings with others on similar journeys. Excited to connect!
