I'm currently building the GTM Engineering team at Tractian - Manufacturing AI copilot, Forbes 50 AI company, $200M+ raised from GC and Sapphire. I was a board member / investor of the company before joining full time. Unbelievable team and a product that is second to none in the market.
Before this, I was a Partner at N47, $2B VC early stage fund, investing in GTM tech + vertical AI. I cut my teeth at Tumblr, Merrill Lynch earlier in my career. I went to Berkeley, grew up in Hong Kong, and live in the SF Bay Area.
My daily fuel is Osmanthus Oolong tea and Nitric Oxide. The canto dinner spot with the best price/performance ratio right now is Porridge and Things in Millbrae.
