CV

By day, I lead corp dev at Copado, the #1 solution for enterprise-level Salesforce DevOps, testing automation, and AI. By night, I build tools, the most recent being a promo code LTV dashboard (others here).

Previously, I navigated tight deadlines into the AMs on a 9-person, $2B AUM team at Partners; coached 100+ students while managing Ace Bridge's 8 teachers, finances, and brand; and built solutions to maximize retention for Tricky Bridge's 1M users learning 4M lessons. .

I enjoy playing bridge, melodica/sax/piano, and New Orleans brass music. I'm ranked 18th in New Orleans on Beli. Besides food, I mostly think about how the Saints/Pels seasons will be dumpster fires.
