Bio
Currently the Chief Operating Officer at Zenefits I have more than 20 years of experience representing and working both for and with high-growth technology companies. I am passionate about our mission at Zenefits to level the playing field for the other 99.7 - the small and mid-sized businesses that power our economy and proud to be part of a turnaround leadership team that makes integrity part of everything we do. Before joining Zenefits I served in various roles at Ooyala including as general counsel head of corporate development and CEO. This experience provided me with a unique opportunity to be instrumental in the growth optimization and subsequent sale of this online video platform provider. Prior to Ooyala I was a founding partner of Bennu Venture Group a stage-agnostic venture capital firm that invests in disruptive and rapidly growing enterprises. Starting my own successful VC firm and watching it grow and succeed provided the foundation for my subsequent career. I was also the Managing Director of SC Investments Consulting a boutique angel investment and consulting company where I managed a sports media company amongst other ventures. Earlier in my career I was a partner at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich Rosati where I practiced for 14 years in this renown law firm that has represented the technology pioneers associated with virtually every milestone innovation. Giving back is important to me and I am proud to serve on several non-profit and for-profit boards including most recently All Stars Helping Kids and RocketLawyer.
