CEO • Founder • Product Builder

Over the past 20 years I've founded and run four companies - including as the CEO of Apple's digital agency. I've advised countless executives and helped launch products used by millions of people for companies like

(these are just the ones that start with A)

After running a large agency, people often assume I'm a “marketing guy”, and while I love great marketing, I've also seen too many mediocre products hide behind good headlines.

I'm interested in something different: world-class teams that build great products. Companies built on proof, not poetry.

When evaluating opportunities, I look for leaders who share that bias toward execution - builders who do the work. I help them shape strategy, build product, and access the resources they need to turn vision into reality.

Day to day, you'll find me running my (stealthy) product studio where I build, advise, and invest in consumer and B2B software companies; spending time with my family; and supporting causes I care about, like Homeboy Industries.

P.S. I have two allergies: Peanuts and LinkedIn (so no, you won't find me there)
