"Integrity, authenticity, and curiosity drive me. These values guide how I grow, personally and professionally."

What I Do

I support Cisco Investments by identifying and evaluating emerging tech startups. Drawing from my experience building Splunk Ventures and my background in corporate development, I focus on mission-driven founders and market-expanding technologies.

What I’m Passionate About

I'm passionate about creative problem-solving. Dynamic ideas across functions and domains energize me.

I love exploring the outdoors. Mountain adventures, music, woodworking—and recently, disc golf.

Where I’ve Been

I started my career in investment banking, working with emerging tech companies that were often at the forefront of major trends. I later joined Splunk’s corporate development team, where I helped build Splunk Ventures. Now at Cisco, I’m excited to continue supporting innovation and collaboration across the ecosystem.

Where I Learned

I earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Pennsylvania. Before joining Splunk, I spent several years as an investment banking analyst, working with emerging tech companies.
