I lead operations and strategy for impactful tech companies and funds building novel products.
My Focus.
Connectivity Fund.
I lead Connectivity Fund, a Qualified Opportunity Fund that makes internet available to more Americans and helps close the digital divide. We do this primarily by investing in fiber infrastructure necessary for broadband deployment.
Hangar.
I work with Hangar, where we connect with stakeholders throughout the public sector market to identify areas where technology can help deliver improved services and outcomes for citizens. We then fund and build technology companies that provide innovative and scalable solutions.
Blockchain Association.
I advise the Blockchain Association, an organization I co-founded that the Washington Post and New York Times describe as the “the first full fledged lobbying group” representing the leading venture capital firms, exchanges, and projects in the space, including Union Square Ventures, Coinbase, and Protocol Labs.
