About Me

 I'm a Principal Program Manager at Microsoft in the Business Applications Group, working to make our customers and partners more successful. 

In previous roles, I was a director on the Airband Initiative (seeking to empower rural communities with broadband internet), and a founding member and Program Architect of the Windows Insider Program, the largest community of people on earth using tech to improve their world. 

Before Microsoft, I worked for the UN, studied climate change, worked at DDD (a social enterprise in Cambodia and Laos), served in the Peace Corps, and tried my hand at a few startups that all, um, taught me lots.

On the side, I'm co-founder of Prima Dona and 

Towards Arcadia with Dona Sarkar. We wear multiple hats to helm those businesses.

Based on our work, we run The Origin Stories, a global movement to help entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs anywhere in the world turn their crazy ideas into profit.  Our first book Model 47: A Startup Storybook is out NOW!

For more specific asks, I also run a consulting service called Boxes and Foxes where I advise early-stage startups on their strategy, tech, and operations, and write about how Doing The Math is not the most boring thing in the world.
