Work
I’m the Founder and Managing Partner of Substrate, a new kind of investment firm.
I spent 6 years at BlackRock, focused on incubations, product strategy, policy, and product before leaving the firm as one of its youngest VPs.
I was most recently the Product Lead for Aladdin Portfolio Mobile. Prior to that I was asked to join a skunkworks team to incubate BlackRock’s first retirement fund with insurance, focus on policy proposals to reshape retirement for millions of Americans, launch BlackRock’s first long term private equity vehicle, join the firm’s first blockchain steering group, and diligence several acquisitions; some in the innovative corner for ETFs, and others that didn’t quite pan out..yet.
