What was your proudest moment?

Over the past 19 years, building and leading Cornerstone from the ground up has created a number of proud moments. But I’d have to say leading the company through one of LA’s most successful IPOs continues to be a top highlight in my career.

What is your alma mater?

I have two, including UCLA and the University of Pennsylvania.

What is your next project?

In addition to growing Cornerstone into a $1B company, I have been focused on building and expanding the LA tech ecosystem. Through a new organization I’m involved in, LAtech.org, we are working to make more connections between tech companies in the area, whether legacy organizations like Cornerstone, or some of the emerging start-ups. There’s so much room to empower each other by creating an organization that encourages support and drives momentum forward.

What do you like best about Los Angeles?

What’s not to love about LA?! It’s a fantastic place to raise a family. The weather is always nice, so it’s great for outdoor activities. For example, I love coaching my kids’ soccer games year-round. There are also so many people from different walks of life. My kids have exposure to different perspectives, cultures and activities all the time.
