Our Team

My favorite part about coaching has always been the people I work with. High performance athletes love what they do, have a passion for growth, and are always pursuing the best version of themselves. In Orrick's TCG group, I get to work with people who share all of those qualities. As a lawyer, I get to advise clients as they build something new, solve creative problems, and constantly pursue excellence. They make showing up for work every day exciting and inspiring!

I enjoy spending as much time as possible outside, preferably pursuing something athletic like running, cycling or golf. The weather here in Austin allows me to do one of the three just about every weekend all year-round!

"Process over everything." My college coach, Robert Gary, was a 2x United States Track & Field Olympian. I attribute most of my successes to what I learned from him about mentality, culture, and teamwork.

"One Step at a Time"

Working in venture capital makes me feel like part of an ecosystem that, day by day, brings together players who aim to address new societal challenges and needs, contributing to the development of our country's economy. I love that I can face the challenges (legal and otherwise) that characterize venture capital closely with clients, especially with the founders. I see each transaction as a journey of mutual growth: we learn from our clients as much as they learn from us.

I usually find my inspiration in art, in traveling, but also in taking my own time to reflect.

I enjoy speaking in public and sometimes I act as a stand-up comedian.

One of my favorite books is called "The Usefulness of the Useless," which explores the importance of engaging in activities that are not solely utilitarian. As someone who is inspired by art, landscapes and music, I find this perspective profoundly true.

I've always been at the forefront of technology, an early adopter at core, often the very first one of my friends to have the latest gadget and test it for them. (Geek much ??) Now, having the incredible privilege to work with those who invents those technologies and allowing to get the earliest of peak into the future is simply the most inspiring thing for me!

As an extravert, I find inspiration in people, in their energy, in discussing with them, debating and constantly being challenged by new ideas, new paradigm, new views. And of course, in the (almost always) ever loving look of my children!

Learn how to thrive into an (your) environment where you are accountable but without responsibility.

Attention to details is everything, every time! Don't even lose sight of it.
