I'M A CONNECTOR WHO CARES ABOUT THE WORLD... AND GETS THINGS DONE. I THRIVE ON BUILDING PARTNERSHIP TO ACCOMPLISH MORE THAN ANY OF US COULD ALONE.

I believe our greatest strength comes from collaboration across silos and areas of interest - and I thrive on connecting the dots to make that happen. 

I lead the mobility, energy, built environment and water portfolio for Elemental Excelerator. There, my responsibilities include supporting ~80 companies ranging from EV solutions, synfuel, air travel, batteries, and shared mobility to smart homes, renewables, efficiency tools and more. I am also responsible for pipeline development, policy guidance and support, and partnership development.

In addition, I am an affiliate with Cityfi, and serve as an advisor for a number of companies.

Previously I was on the founding team of Lime, the leading dockless smart shared mobility company. Until January 2020, I served as Senior Director of Data Policy and Strategic Partnerships for Lime. In that role I was responsible for leading the company’s approach to data policy/data sharing, including managing data compliance for GDPR and CCPA. I was also responsible for managing and developing relationships with transit agencies and related industry organizations as well as third-party stakeholders, as well as prioritizing government relations requests into engineering projects.  

As the first government relations hire for the company, I developed state and local go-to-market strategies and helped with development of micromobility policy for much of the United States and Canada. That included building relations with key officials, including mayors, councilmembers, and city/state staff), as well as building community campaigns and guiding policy. The role also included managing lobbyists and communications consultants to secure political support at local and state levels, and drafting and advancing regulatory changes. I joined the company prior to the launch of Lime’s first vehicle and supported its growth to over 150 cities in more than 30 countries. Concurrently to the founding of Lime, I undertook business development efforts with the microtransit company, Chariot.

I contributed to the 2017 book, “Smart Cities, Smart Mobility,” and speak regularly on the future of urban mobility and cities more broadly. A versatile entrepreneur and evangelist, I have worked at the intersection of mobility, technology, and sustainability-oriented innovation for over fifteen years, and has broad knowledge across numerous industries.

Prior to Lime, I spent years consulting. Two and a half of those were at frog design, and the previous six were with my own company, Re-Vision Labs. I was fortunate to be largely able to focus on social innovation and human-centered design, identifying opportunities for to make the world better through my clients. I got to work on urban mobility, ocean-based food systems, aquaculture, energy, education, health and much more. I also founded a company that sought to help small businesses undertake retrofits for energy efficiency; while that company failed, I learned a ton -and we made a great cartoon. Throughout my career I have focused on developing partnerships to leverage people's capacity to create a meaningful impact in the world. An entrepreneur and catalyst for community building, I have consistently been fortunate to work at the intersection of sustainability, technology, and innovation. 

I have also created and produced numerous events including Seattle GreendrinksBloomSeattle, and Get a Real Job Fair, among others.
