Infrastructure perspective from 30 years of building at scale. I help founders and investors see what they're missing, look around corners, and remove roadblocks.
Background:
- Built one of the early ISPs (1994)
- SendGrid: Early team → IPO → Twilio acquisition
- Founding team at GeoTrust → VeriSign/Symantec acquisition
- 7 companies founded, multiple exits
- Operated across startups, public companies, and venture studios
What I Do:
I bring infrastructure and operational perspective to help you see opportunities, anticipate what breaks, and scale from 1 → 3 → 10+. I help you lead by identifying and removing roadblocks—strategic and operational.
I provide perspective through quick sessions, deep engagements, or ongoing partnerships—depending on what you need.
Tech founders: Deep on infrastructure and operations.
Non-tech founders: Technical bridge + operational guidance.
Investors: Portfolio-wide perspective.
