Bio

I'm the founder and CEO of Names & Faces. We're grateful to have Accel, Y Combinator, Slack Fund, and Elad Gill backing us on our mission to build technology that helps people thrive in the groups that matter to them. Highlights of my past life include launching the 20-Over Cricket format in South Africa, winning a South African Music Award, attending Northwestern University as a Mandela Washington Fellow, and building Yuppiechef.com, a Tiger Global backed e-commerce company in South Africa.
