I've found that the most important (and successful) innovations are those that empower and invest in people. Starting out at a global hedge fund, I quickly realized that what I loved most was interacting with people and helping them solve problems - and this has shaped my journey ever since. On joining Sailthru, a fast-growing startup, I got the chance to help businesses of all sizes leverage big data to grow and personalize their reach. Heading their UK and EMEA operations fueled my entrepreneurial side - setting up a new London office and working with clients from across countries and cultures. It was a thrill to be part of Sailthru’s success story and witness a team of 40 grow to 200 within a year. By now, I knew I wanted to build my own venture from the ground up - one that is truly inclusive and empowers people to make a meaningful impact. And a fateful meeting with a friend brought it all together as Oden Technologies. We got to work right away - meeting with manufacturers in boardrooms and on the factory floor to learn on-the-ground realities (4 am every day!), as well as working with some of the brightest investors and engineers in the global tech community. What we learned helped us to build a technology that truly enables manufacturers and the plant floor workforce to spend less time fire-fighting and more time making better decisions faster and creating a bigger impact for their company. It’s a pursuit that I am grateful to be on and humbled every day by the people I get to share it with. When I’m not at work you’ll find me chasing my kids, running marathons, or reading about business, politics, and science fiction. Want to chat about AI, manufacturing, or podcasts?
