Co-Founder and COO
San Francisco, California, United States
As the Co-Founder and COO of Armada, I am deeply committed to bridging the digital divide and unlocking the full potential of AI at the true edge. My professional path, enriched by robust leadership and operational excellence, spans across technology, finance, and law. Based in San Francisco, I am driven by the ambition of propelling Armada towards revolutionary achievements in connectivity and AI.
Before Armada, I served for nearly a decade as General Counsel at Okta where I was a key partner to the CEO in leading the then 300-person company through massive hypergrowth and, ultimately, a very successful IPO. I helped lead Okta in scaling from $30M ARR as a private company to ~$2B ARR as a publicly traded company with over 6,000 employees.
Prior to Okta, I was a Partner at Goodwin Procter, specializing in corporate and securities law, representing hundreds of technology companies and venture capital firms across the globe, counseling them through every manner of strategic transaction.
I hold a BS in Business Administration (Finance) from San Diego State, an MBA from Yale, and JD from UC Hastings. I am also a seasoned angel investor who has partnered with dozens of innovative companies such as Ollama, Etched, FigureAI, SpaceX, Ironclad, Envoy, Abnormal Security, xAI, Airbase, ClickHouse, Aeon, Erebor, Quantum Metric, and Kepler Compute.
In my role at Armada, and through my various professional and investment endeavors, I remain committed to fostering innovation and enabling transformative solutions in the world of technology and connectivity.
