After surviving cancer at a young age, I finished high school having already launched my first tech company, spoken at 30+ conferences, hosted my first podcast, immersed myself in startup ecosystems around the world, gone through my first accelerator, and worked with Fortune 500 companies. Most people were just getting started. I had already learned that waiting was not an option.

After surviving cancer at a young age, I finished high school having already launched my first tech company, spoken at 30+ conferences, hosted my first podcast, immersed myself in startup ecosystems around the world, gone through my first accelerator, and worked with Fortune 500 companies. Most people were just getting started. I had already learned that waiting was not an option.

That mindset has built a nearly 15-year career I couldn't have scripted. I've held C-Level and VP roles, co-founded companies, and currently serve as CEO of The Accelerated Company, a globally recognized digital consultancy. Along the way I've launched products and websites reaching millions of customers, led major innovation campaigns with some of the world's biggest brands, and even launched a game that hit 200,000 monthly active players. I've worked directly with the leaders of some of the world's most recognized organizations, including the NFL, Microsoft, and L'Oréal, sitting in the room where decisions get made and helping them drive real, meaningful innovation from the inside out. I've mentored founders at startup accelerators and incubators, led the largest community for young entrepreneurs globally, and built ecosystems across San Francisco, Austin, Chicago, and Los Angeles before planting my roots in New York City. My work has been featured in Business Insider, VentureBeat, and LinkedIn News, and I've spoken at 70+ events on leadership, AI, startups, and innovation, bringing over a decade of hands-on AI experience to every conversation, long before it was a buzzword.

I'm currently writing my debut book, The Essential Pivot, about the moments that force us to change direction, and how to use them as fuel rather than setbacks.

Your audience will walk away with more than inspiration. They'll walk away with a real framework for navigating change, taking bold action, and building something that actually matters. Whether they're a founder, a leader, or simply someone standing at a crossroads, this is a conversation that will stick with them long after the episode ends.
