I’m a doer, a dreamer and an ardent follower of Emerson’s dictum to “always go where there is no path and blaze a trail.” I’ve founded several technology companies, including Involver which was sold to Oracle. While building these companies, I’ve been named one of the Top 30 Entrepreneurs Under 30 by Inc. Magazine, admitted into Canada’s top MBA program as the youngest student without an undergraduate degree, and honored with an Empact Award at the White House from Startup America and the Kauffman Foundation. Most recently, I've co-founded SV Academy to democratize access to the tech industry for young professionals from different backgrounds. SV Academy trains and places high quality sales candidates (60% women, 40% African American/Latinx, 70% first generation college students) for over 100 high growth companies like Salesforce, Optimizely, and Survey Monkey. Last year we drove more than $10M in signed full-time offers, and our program is set to triple in 2019.
