I started my career with JPMorgan in the Private Equity Group and later held an internal strategy role for the Big Data & Business Intelligence Group. In between my college years, I enlisted and served in the Republic of Korea Army, where I was part of the Strategy and Operations Command and was deployed to Haiti with the UN Peacekeeping Operations. I double majored in Information Systems and Advertising at Syracuse University and received my MBA from Columbia Business School.
Partnering closely with founders during the growth journey is the most rewarding part of my job. I’m always ready to roll up my sleeves and figure out how to move forward together.
Growing up, I despised long distance running despite loving to play sports. I’ve learned to appreciate running now as an adult, especially when pairing with my podcast favorites like Acquired, In Depth, Unchained, and MacroVoices.
My taste in music is helplessly outdated, but I’m completely content listening exclusively to Bill Evans and Vladimir Horowitz play the piano for the rest of my life.
I enjoy reading non-fiction during my commutes. I’m always on the lookout for a book that will pull me back for re-reads over and over again, but I haven’t found one yet.
