BIO
CPO & Co-founder of Risely AI. Previously, I spent 7 years leading product development for Salesforce's Education Cloud, where I built from scratch the Student Information System that campuses everywhere rely on as their system-of-record. I also served as a voting Regent on the University of California Board of Regents, working shoulder-to-shoulder with Chancellors, Presidents, CIOs, and CFOs - giving me deep, firsthand insight into how universities operate and make decisions.
