I’m an experienced builder looking for the next big challenge. I was the VP Product at Nylas where I helped grow the company from 15 to 250 employees and over $450M in valuation. I’ve worked in a variety of roles across product, engineering, and support. I’m an engineer by training, and started my career as a startup founder.
