Our Team

I am fascinated by the transformative impact that VC firms have on the tech ecosystem, and society generally. I am very fortunate to partner with VC firms that provide such essential capital to the tech ecosystem.

My grandfather immigrated to the U.S. in 1941 and founded a textile factory in CT that continues to operate today. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, I am passionate about partnering with VC firms so they are well-positioned to able to strongly support founders.

I'd be a firefighter.

I compete in ultramarathon trail races (50kms, 50 miles, etc.), mostly for the free tee shirt. Trail running, especially in the beautiful SoCal mountains, is the perfect way for me to connect with nature while challenging my mind/body.

Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.

What inspires me about working with tech companies is being part of a very dynamic and cutting-edge environment and being able to be part of their entire journey.

I find inspiration in nature and in my family.

If I wasn't a lawyer, I'd like to be an architect. I have a very creative side and I like to think that I try including this creativity in writing and structuring very complex agreements or even just clauses.

I love hiking but have a fear of heights.

Spending time with my family and friends and doing some hiking.

One of my favorite books is "I kill" ("Io Uccido") by Giorgio Faletti. I love a good crime thriller.

Today's entrepreneurs aren't just visionaries – they're making the impossible possible. It's inspiring to see how they're bringing groundbreaking ideas to life, tackling challenges we couldn't have imagined solving just a few years back. As a legal professional in this field, I'm thrilled to help these innovators navigate complex situations. By handling the legal hurdles, I free them up to do what they excel at: pushing technology and business forward in extraordinary ways. It's incredibly rewarding to be part of transforming bold ideas into real-world innovations.

I am constantly inspired by how founders are able to look at some of the world's biggest problems and design innovative solutions.

Like Founders and VCs, I think it is really exciting to be on the cutting edge of industries and the legal frameworks they operate in.

I used to be a second grade teacher in rural Mississippi.

Adventures with friends, good food and great wine.

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them. - Albert Einstein

I find that leaders of tech companies are incredibly capable and efficient problem solvers, and therefore great collaborators to find practical solutions in deal negotiations. It’s a great approach to get the best possible results on transactions.

I look forward to seeing breakthrough development at scale for green energy solutions.

My weekends usually revolve around spending as much active outdoor time as possible with my kids. Usually by Sunday evening the weekend has worn me out!

I love new technology, and helping the brilliant people who are developing cutting edge tech never gets old. I get to work every day with founders with big dreams and even bigger ideas.

I'd be running a board game cafe - making good coffee and convincing everyone to play my favorite games.

Artificial Intelligence. I believe it has the potential to change nearly every aspect of our world.

Weather control! (Storm has always been my favorite super hero.)

Be kind.
