Bio

Co-founder & CEO of Forgepoint. We build AI coworkers for the manufacturing back office. Our first product, Frank, is an AI Inside Sales Rep already working with hundreds of reps, engineers, and estimators, cutting time-to-quote by up to 90%. I've spent my career at the intersection of manufacturing and technology: Chinese OEM factory floors early on, then Northrop Grumman, Bain's manufacturing practice, and Xwing, where I ran GTM through the acquisition by Joby Aviation. Stanford MBA. Backed by a16z speedrun and angels from OpenAI, Brex, SoFi, and Vercel.
