  • Led FP&A across SaaS and high-growth tech, including Reify Health, Highspot, and EVERFI.
  • Guided teams through acquisitions, integrations, and board-level reporting without losing the plot.
  • Cut my teeth at SAP Concur, where I learned how large systems really work (and why they break).
  • Reading the Cradle series by Will Wight, a fantasy series built on ascending strength.
  • Listening (and laughing) to the Off Menu Podcast, where comedians Ed Gamble and James Acaster host a magical restaurant.
  • Learning fermentation from Patrice and her mother at Tae-Gu Kimchi.
  • Watching Culinary Class Wars, where I’m constantly reminded my true calling is to be a cooking show judge.
  • Playing PEAK, where I climb cliffs with friends.
