The companies that matter in the next decade won't just make work more efficient — they'll make people's lives genuinely better. That's the conviction behind everything I build.I'm the CEO of Aescape, where we're using embodied AI and tactile robotics to transform how people experience recovery and wellness. I'm also a Senior Partner at the Schultz Family Foundation, focused on the future of work and economic mobility, and an Advisor at Valor Equity Partners.Before this, I served as Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer at Starbucks and as CEO of Penn Foster, a career mobility platform. I've spent my career operating at the intersection of category creation, brand revitalization, and large-scale transformation — across consumer, technology, education, and services.My work today spans operating leadership, capital formation, and philanthropy. I partner with investors, family offices, and mission-driven founders to build companies that are commercially strong, human-centered, and built to last.
