MOST FOUNDERS SPECIALIZE. I'VE CHOSEN TO STAY DANGEROUS ACROSS THE STACK.
At yellow.ai, the company I co-founded in 2015, I've held the roles that most people split across three executives: engineering, product, and sales.
When our international business needed acceleration, I stepped in and drove $8M ARR in three quarters. When generative AI reshaped our category, I moved back to product to lead the transformation. Now I'm building an AI-native marketing engine.
The thread through all of it: I like solving hard problems end-to-end—from the technical architecture to the customer handshake.
Enterprise AI platform for customer support automation. Voice and chat agents that handle the majority of queries for large businesses.
