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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Alt Bionics is another client at the forefront of automation. They develop bionic hands for both prosthetic and robotic application, improving the lives of amputees and advancing the capabilities of humanoids.
Currently you’ll find me full time as Head of Finance at Chef Robotics, where we’re solving labor shortage and production uncertainty for food manufacturers.
