Co-founder & CEO
The CFO side of AI, where the investment case has to hold up.
I started out teaching high school accounting, then spent a decade building future-of-work companies at Emeritus, WeWork, Flatiron School and Jolt. Now I'm the co-founder and CEO of Flowstate. I write about AI budgets, planning cycles and getting finance and engineering to work from the same numbers.
