I am an entrepreneur, advisor, board member and public speaker who has dedicated the majority of my work in service of entrepreneurs bringing innovation, collaboration, empathy and a sustainability mindset to the world’s most urgent challenges.

Inspired and dedicated to solving the inequity and disparity in access to capital I co-founded Indiegogo - the San Francisco tech start-up credited with inventing perk-based crowdfunding. Nearly $2 billion crowd-funded dollars later, innovators across the world (of which over 40% are women) are improving health & wellbeing, taking on climate change, revitalizing our natural food systems, and tackling many of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

The enormous breadth of solutions launched and enabled on Indiegogo and catalyzed via the crowdfunding mechanism is by far the most humbling and rewarding part of my entrepreneurial adventure to date. Starting a company that has consistently lead the industry in gender diversity (upwards of 50% female) is up there too.

And as with all worthwhile journeys, I experienced struggles and evolved as an entrepreneur and executive along the way. Today I share my learnings and perspectives as a Board Member and Advisor to entre- and intrapreneurs looking to bring their important innovations to life.

Currently I'm particularly interested in efforts to scale and advance personalized health, regenerative agriculture, empowerment of women & girls, workplace diversity & inclusion, attentional management, and mindful human development.

As a meta-pursuit, I co-own Huso Lodge - a boutique hotel and company retreat center in the mountains of Norway. Huso offers guests an opportunity to reconnect with untouched nature as well as their own authentic nature. In line with putting my innovation advisory efforts towards my deep interest in helping to clean up our bodies, minds and environment, I'm hoping Huso Lodge becomes a place for others to rediscover and act on their genuine interests too.
