'Hard tech' made simpler

Two years ago I joined Salient Predictions to lead business development and commercialization after advising and supporting their fundraising efforts. Prior to that I spent the last 5 years in leadership roles at ClimateAi and Ceres Imaging.I joined ClimateAi as a late co-founder when the company had no product and no sales. Just five people with Jupyter notebooks and a dream. I was responsible for all commercial efforts. Over two years we achieved product-market fit, added enterprise customers in eight countries, closed millions in revenue (doubling every six months), landed the first seven-figure deal, and scaled up the go-to-market team.In my view, the convergence of natural sciences, machine learning, and software is one of the most exciting areas of innovation today. Companies are developing playbooks to scale novel solutions in mission-critical industries. The best ones are building lasting, category defining businesses. That's where I like to spend my time.Currently contributing as an operator, investor, and advisor.Beyond that, I'm improvising my way through being 'dada' to three kids (three years and under), sailing competitively, investing in real estate, and counting my lucky stars for the incredible woman I married.
