About

My first job in data center real estate sparked my passion for solving problems in foundational industries. I didn’t know that at the time, but the lightbulb went off for me again in 2014 when I joined BuildingConnected, however this time with construction. I was their first non-engineering hire and spent 6 years there constantly invigorated by all the problems we could solve and customers we could help.

I’m proud to have led 3 sales teams at BuildingConnected and take 2 of them from pre-revenue to multi-millions. We grew the company to over 250 people prior to our acquisition by Autodesk for $275M in early 2019. The only thing more rewarding than creating value for our customers was doing it with an incredible team by my side.

In 2020, my passion for cars led me to dive deep into researching automotive. I found that many of the same challenges we faced in construction were paralleled at car dealerships, which motivated the beginnings of The Lasso. We raised nearly $10M led by Crosslink (investors behind Chime, Pandora, and more), we were off to the races!
