Special Projects, Office of Reid Hoffman

Technology / Software / Internet

I manage special projects for Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn. Previously, I was Marketing Director of The Start-Up of You, the bestselling career strategy book by Reid Hoffman and Ben Casnocha. I’m an entrepreneurial generalist with a variety of work experiences in both startup and corporate environments — from creative development for video games at Disney Interactive, to business development for network security software at Rapid7, to marketing self-defense products at Krav Maga Worldwide, to tasting entrepreneurship as founder of an e-commerce start-up named Fitizen, and more.
