I'm passionate about building companies, growing great teams, and having my work change the world for the better. I've had a diverse mix of experiences, but I'm an operator and problem solver at heart. I studied math and computer science in college. Started my first company when I was 19, which I sold when I was 21. I've worked as an entrepreneur, management consultant, start-up utility player, global sales leader, and product management exec.

Why am I at LinkedIn after more than a decade? The vision of creating economic opportunity for billions and the people at LinkedIn who inspire me on a daily basis.
