I’m a Chapel Hill alum with a passion for new ventures. After a stint at Deloitte Consulting, I co-founded a health-tech startup that matches patients with procedural specialists. From raising $2.4m, to managing teams, to pivoting business models, my journey has been about adaptability and resilience. Today, I’m driven by a desire to bring new technologies to market, work with bright and energetic teams, and improve the lives and livelihood of the colleagues and customers I meet along the way.
In leadership, empathy matters—care deeply, empathize, and the right actions will naturally follow.
Planning is great, but don’t plan yourself into a corner. Talk with clients, test, learn, and adapt. The more data points you gather, the faster you learn, the more nimble you can be.
Leadership isn’t about having all the answers; admitting you don’t know can empower your team, build trust with your clients, and unburden yourself from undue stress.
Taking pride in your work sets you apart; deliver genuine value, avoid mediocrity, and stand out.
Hard conversations are a lot easier when you explain your logic. Doing so encourages healthy discourse and often arrives at a fair and desirable outcome.
Good design makes business sense. Design can be the difference between a product that sells and one that doesn’t. Give your product a chance to be evaluated.
