Founder at Beacon

Report

My career journey has taken me through Flashpoint, 1010data, Financial Guard, Discover, Stroz Friedberg, and Duff & Phelps — companies that were all ultimately acquired. Those experiences gave me a front-row seat to transformation, and now I’m channeling those lessons into building something new.
