Currently: Incubating and investing in startups, primarily in healthcare and AI.
Previously: I co-founded Sodatone, which helps record labels discover and evaluate breakout artists using data and machine learning. We sold it to Warner Music Group, where it's discovered multiple No. 1 hits, resulting in 40B+ streams and $200M+ in revenue. I was a Senior Vice President leading AI and data efforts globally. In some ways, it was a childhood dream come true.
Interests: After we sold Sodatone, I got really, really sick. I spent two years reading papers and running experiments to find the root cause, which I wrote about here. I now spend much of my free time learning about public health, longevity science, and food systems and agriculture. (I also love the NBA.)
Background: I'm a self-taught engineer and Waterloo robotics dropout. While at Waterloo, I built the control software for the world's first 3D circuit board printer and helped train models to detect heart conditions using smartwatch sensors.
Location: I live in NYC, but frequently visit SF, LA, and my hometown Toronto. While Toronto is home, I was actually born in Ohio, and as a kid lived in France and went to school in Switerzland.
Let's hang out: I love meeting new people across all sorts of industries. If you're curious, hard-working, and quick-witted I'd love to meet! Send me a message on Twitter; I respond to every single one.
