A short bio…
College
Attended Davidson College in North Carolina. Majored in Studio Art. Some say I’m the best thing to happen to Davidson College next to Stephen Curry.
Non-Profit
Through MissionYear.org worked for a host of non-profits in the city of Oakland that served at-risk teens and twenty-somethings.
Powerset
Member of the founding team at Powerset (June 2006). Powerset is a natural language search tool that was acquired by Microsoft in the summer of 2008. While at Powerset, I managed personnel and internal operations.
Serious Business
Co-founded Serious Business in March of 2008, where I served as COO until its sale to Zynga Game Network in February of 2010. Serious Business built social games for the social web. Translation: we made Facebook apps.
CrowdFlower
I am currently the Chief Administrative Officer at CrowdFlower. CrowdFlower provides on demand labor at large scales through our state of the art crowdsourcing technology. Translation: we get large tasks done quickly and accurately by parceling them out to people around the world and aggregating the results.
