About

I’m an entrepreneur and builder. I love to learn and to work with people and on projects with purpose. Throughout my professional journey, I’ve been energized by building brands, teams, and content that bring a different perspective.

I jump-started my career when I co-founded Refinery29, leading its creation and expansion into a global media brand.

In my next chapter, I was President at Red Ventures where I led Lonely Planet, working alongside a great team to reimagine the iconic brand and how it can be a gateway for people to travel better.

I’m a lifelong learner and believe that every experience offers us an opportunity to improve. I'm energized by meeting new people, understanding other's perspectives, and working with smart, curious, creative collaborators.

I spend my time mostly in Brooklyn alongside my partner, Piera, and our daughter, Viva, riding our e-bike around NYC.
