I have spent my entire professional life in and around startups and high-growth businesses in travel, hospitality and technology having founded seven companies during my 35 years in business. Today I am the co-founder and Managing Director of Thayer Ventures, a venture capital platform investing in technology companies in the travel and mobility space. Immediately Prior to Thayer Ventures, I was founder and CEO of iCare Marketing (sold to Sysco Foodservice Corporation in 2012) and founder and CEO of Dynamic Payment Ventures (sold to Elavon, a subsidiary of US Bank in 2007).
