Ex Uber, Ex Intel, Aussie adventurer, 2 x Travel Entrepreneur....Bubbl Founder- Now Reinventing Social Travel, Impact Angel Investor
Bio
I am a global business development professional ex Uber, Intel, Nokia with over 15 years of experience in technology and media.
I recently left the world of deep tech partnerships (autonomous mobility and delivery partnerships for Uber), to found my own startup that culminates my passion for bringing a better social travel experience to the world. I am building this business based partly on my own extensive group travel management experience (my side hustles!). I thrive on solving complex problems, and delivering value to customers and stakeholders, using my creativity, agility, listening, and strategic thinking.
Prior to Uber, I held various leadership roles at Intel, incubating and launching technologies in areas such as data center persistent memory, autonomous driving, energy transformation, and AR glasses. I developed multi-year solutioning partnerships for the industrial IoT integration sector, resulting in a 9-figure revenue pipeline. I also led Intel's technology engagements for a major public safety exercise, and collaborated with leading brands like Oakley and BMW on AR innovation efforts.
In addition, I am an angel investor and advisor, interested in innovative and disruptive impact investments like CyberProtonics and Greentek Energy that can scale in time. Conservation is a passion of mine.
As an entrepreneur, I founded Total Heliski, the heli-ski adventure media and travel company in 2009 pursuing my passion for unique ski adventures and living my belief about creating memorable experiences.
