I’ve spent 30+ years on the internet, ending up in Silicon Valley in 2012. With a background in Computer Science and Operations Research, I landed in internet marketing attracted by the combo of architecting systems and driving quantifiable growth.
This led to me working at best in class companies like Facebook and LinkedIn, and smaller startups like ArrowStream, Fivestars, Plaid and my own (iSyndica and chief.io) doing primarily Growth & Analytics under various names (Demand Generation, Performance Marketing, Growth, Product Analytics etc.) and invariably Product work.
Recent interests include Machine Learning, Piano and Human Functioning

Human Functioning : Becoming a parent makes you marvel at life, as does the invariable process of aging. I decided to learn more about myself and the people around me.
