I am a senior business executive and entrepreneur that focuses on technology. I have experience in strategy, operations, engineering, product, support, sales, corporate development and business development. Deeply experienced in intellectual property development, transfer and licensing.

I have a demonstrated history of discovering new technologies and talent.

I keep track of my business contacts on Linkedin and like to meet startups on Angel List.

I earned a BS and MS in Chemistry and Biochemistry at UCLA and a PhD in Molecular Pathology at The Burnham Institute and UCSD School of Medicine. Taught at the university level for more than a decade, I’m also the outside director of the WordPress Foundation and most often can be found on Twitter when not flying across an ocean in an aisle seat. I live in Stockholm with my wife and daughters, and spend most of my free time cycling and have been a long-time aikidoka and judoka.
