TL;DR
Here's what I am working on:
- I run Rebel - a fund that buys distressed SAAS and turns it around - if you want to support share our apps here
- I'm building/buying a regenerative farm. Our food system is beyond broken. Our healthcare system doesn't heal people. If you're interested in the thoughts behind this read this
- I've built companies, bought companies and burned companies - if you're looking for pro bono advice or mentoring - tweet/DM me here
- In my day job I run a product consulting team at Tanzu Labs - if you have deep pockets and need a team to teach you how to build great software that users love - connect with me here
- I have failed at so so so many things - read about them here
Now a bit about me
*Fresh Prince of Bel-Air music comes on* (press play)
🎶 Now this is a story all about how 🎶
My career path flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there
I'll tell you how I went from army dreams to product care
In my youth, I aimed to serve in the army's might
But orders weren't my thing, so I switched my sight
Civil and environmental engineering at uni was my new path
And there, my tabloid thrived, making the school paper seem half
But after college, accounting and consulting at PwC was my grind
I found it uninspiring, and wanted a challenge to find
So I cofounded Sauce, a marketing analytics business, that took flight
Running marketing and product, it was a humbling sight
We scaled quickly, but venture capital wasn't in our stars
And so we were acquired in a sizeable all-cash bazaar
Then came Flex, where my cofounder and I shared decisions of the trade
I handled growth, while he engineered, with Silicon Valley VCs in our aid
We hired a big team and aimed for the stars, but alas
We went down in a blaze of glory, and that came to pass
I realized then that most startups suffer from a product glitch
So I became a product guru, and helped many a company to switch
Now I run a product consulting team that's hired by America's elite
Mentoring PMs and VPs on product strategy that can't be beat
Tired of corporate life, I fix SAAS turnarounds on the side
And work on fixing America's food system far and wide.
