Liner notes

Consumer-obsessed, from apps to aisles.

I live where consumer technology, media, and retail meet, with a constant itch for beautiful design. Right now I'm an MBA candidate at Harvard Business School.

Most recently, I was the first U.S. strategy hire on Netflix's ads business. Before that, I spent three years at McKinsey on consumer growth strategy in New York and Tokyo, after studying business analytics and computer science at Wharton.

Off the clock, I'm usually in the kitchen building a croquembouche or still trying to get my mom's Japanese curry right.
