💼 Current Role: Co-founder and CEO of CatchBio (www.catchbio.com) --> Stealth, operator in food as medicine

Hello everyone!! I'm a multi-time founder in the health and wellness space formerly the 8 year CEO of Territory Foods (the first healthy fresh prepared meals company, delivering whole food nutrition free of gluten, sugar, dairy and seed oils) and founder/CEO of Mealogic (the first B2B2C platform that enables content creators, influencers, digital doctors, dietitians, connected health / wellness companies, hospital systems / insurers to launch completely white labeled, personalized nutrition programs specialized to their protocol and delivered to the customer's door automatically). I'm one of the OGs of the food as medicine movement and it's been a life's passion to bring healthy food to people to reverse disease, and I've shifted into building cross-industry pilots to support GLP1 consumers to live better lives. Before startup life that I built the D2C product extensions business for ZX Ventures / ABInBev and ran international product operations for Gap Inc for 44 markets.

Shifting into cancer prevention has been a natural move for me because of a personal connection to cancer and a deep belief that nutrition, movement, sleep and mental health are the building blocks to fight chronic disease, and it's been fun to build in the complete digital health space.. but I miss food and cannot stay away!

I've scaled businesses $0-20M x4 and $20-~$50 x2 and raised >$50M in venture capital dollars for Series Seed, A and B, and I love love love to help people raise money, run great businesses and understand their market better. I'm so lucky to have built my career developing relationships all over the place (health, wellness, influencer, food, tech, government) and really sincerely love to connect people.

🎯 Focus Areas: Building strategic partnerships that grow awareness and information for the health seeking consumer
🧠 Hobbies: Love my kids, husband and work and need to carve out space for hobbies in 2026
