Venture Capital

Most recently, I spent several years as a Technology Investor on Summit Partners' flagship $10B Growth Equity fund, where I was promoted early. At Harvard, I taught 100+ undergraduates in the largest course on Venture Capital Investing.

With extensive experience at Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), one of the most renowned venture capital firms, I bring a unique blend of expertise in recruiting and coaching.

This hands-on experience has equipped me with deep insights into strategic talent acquisition, workforce planning, and the nuances of building high-performing teams. My background also includes navigating complex hiring landscapes in competitive markets, which has strengthened my ability to coach others on optimizing their recruitment strategies. Beyond my technical recruiting skills, I have actively embraced a coaching mindset to elevate the recruitment process. By leveraging tools like open-ended questions and scaling techniques, I’ve helped candidates uncover their motivations and potential, fostering meaningful connections that go beyond transactional hiring. My approach aligns candidates with organizational values while emphasizing adaptability and long-term growth—a methodology proven to enhance productivity and retention. This combination of strategic expertise and personalized coaching ensures that I can effectively guide clients in achieving their recruitment and career development goals.
