I'm a creative executive specializing in growth, product development, and marketing currently working on a fractional basis with select startups and coaching founders with strategy and their fundraising efforts.

I recently worked at Games for Change, a nonprofit advocating for video games, VR, and AR as powerful mediums to drive social change. As their Chief Creative and Strategy Officer, I oversaw organization-wide strategy and led the production and marketing / comms departments. Notably, I oversaw the planning and execution of their 20th year anniversary festival which comprised of 10 events in 8 days in NYC, welcomed 200+ speakers from around the world, and included organizations like the UN, Playstation, XBox, Niantic, and the New York City's Mayors office.

Prior to that, I co-founded a company called Classcraft, an award-winning behavioral management SaaS platform focused on using gamification to drive students' motivation and develop their social-emotional skills. As its President for over eight years, I was actively involved in many aspects of the business, from business strategy and fundraising to creative direction, product design, marketing, and business development. I also served as an advisor to the White House, SETDA, and Future Ready Schools New Jersey. I guest lectured at Harvard and have spoken numerous times at conferences like SXSW, ISTE, and ASU+GSV Summit. During my tenure the company raised $18M, scaled to 9M+ users in 165 countries, became a b-corp, and grew to have 45 employees on staff. Classcraft was acquired by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in 2023.

Earlier in my career, I founded a boutique creative agency called The Flux and had the privilege of working with brands like Chanel, Microsoft, Intel, See.me, and the Future of Storytelling.

I'm also a member of Climate Vine, On Deck, a Future of Storytelling Explorer, recently completed a mini-mba in AI strategy from Section, and am learning basic python and how to build AI / automation solutions using low-code platforms.
