Over the last decade I’ve mastered “first finance hire” for AI and automation startups. I partner with all styles and stages of leadership and have built teams, systems, and strategy from the ground up.
Numbers are my job, robots are my specialty. Let’s work together.

2018
In 2018 I led the finance function at Kindred Systems from pre-revenue to $10M ARR, through a $36M Series C, and then a $260M acquisition by UK-based grocery automator Ocado.
2021
After Kindred’s acquisition I led an initial PCAOB audit and a successful S-4 filing at Bright Machines, managing $30M in ARR and a 13-person accounting team across Israel, Mexico, and China.
2022
Pasadena-based Elementary Systems was my next venture, where I spent two years owning Finance and BizOps, including the HR function and tight integration with the sales team and deal desk function.
2024
I spent the summer of 2024 exploring new players in the automation space, getting the chance to advise a number of clients including AeroVect, which builds autonomous ground support vehicles.
2025
Currently you’ll find me back in SF as Head of Finance at Chef Robotics, where we’re solving labor shortage and production uncertainty for food manufacturers.
