At the core of Blackbird is our community. I create programs, products and foster networks focused on helping our Founders succeed. Among other things, we recognize that one of the best ways to help Founders is to help their teams. I'm very focused on ensuring the breadth of support Blackbird has to offer extends beyond our Founder relationships to the entire leadership teams in our portfolio.
I spent 5 years as the COO of SOCAP, a US based startup in the impact investing/social entrepreneurship space. Prior to that, I learned the ropes and climbed the ranks in Investment Banking in New York. When I was a kid, I grew up around the world including stints in Switzerland, Pakistan, Namibia, Mozambique and Brazil.
When you help someone, you help everyone.
