Founder, Fractional General Management & Community Work

2022

My expertise is around finding cohesion and multiplier effects between industries or projects that don’t usually fit together. In the past, that’s included bringing together tech startups (including crypto & AI) with public education. Through my company, Create Connections, I'll help you find cohesion and kickstart new initiatives at your organization.
