Founder and CEO
New York, United States
I started my first business when I was 18, and ever since I’ve been in love with building brand experiences and using technology to positively impact people’s lives.
In 2009, I started my second company, Savored, which we sold to Groupon after becoming the nation’s largest provider of dynamic pricing solutions to the restaurant industry with over 2,000 restaurants and nearly a million diners seated on our platform. I then launched and led Groupon Reserve, Groupon’s premium business and latest iteration of the daily deal product, which was built on Savored’s technology. In 2015, I founded Hungryroot, which uses artificial intelligence to make healthy living easy, enjoyable and sustainable for millions of Americans across the country. In 2023, I started Every, a non-profit that uses AI to guide reflection, build understanding and uncover common ground.
I believe in the power of technology, imagination and awareness to shape our lives, feel our best and positively impact the world. I’ve been fortunate to partner with and learn from incredible people, and I’m very grateful to be able to work on what I love.
