Chief Operating Officer & Co-Founder (Current Role)

VisionAid

I spearheaded the creation of XR technologies designed to assist and advocate for the visually impaired, a mission deeply rooted in personal family experience. Our initial wearable prototype allowed some test subjects to read a menu for the first time in over 2 years. I co-authored a diverse portfolio of hardware and software patents, securing intellectual property that underpins our innovative solutions. Under my leadership, VisionAid received the prestigious Accessibility Award at CES 2024. Additionally, I joined a coalition of scientists where I lobbied Congress on behalf of the NEI, presenting our Eye Disease Simulator as a groundbreaking education & empathy tool. This recognition and advocacy underscore our commitment to enhancing the lives of individuals with visual impairments.

Managing Partner & Advisor

I led a comprehensive design, development, and innovation firm specializing in mobile, XR, and AI software solutions.

Under my leadership, Wondour achieved over 32 million app downloads, featured placements on the Apple App Store, and top #100 app rankings in 85 countries. I secured backing from Harvard Medical School researchers, worked with prominent public companies like Draft Kings, and secured an exclusive contract as TCL's first developer for their Project Archery headset. I managed diverse teams to bring products to market, driving the creation and execution of groundbreaking concepts. I currently serve as an active advisor to the firm.

Reported directly to company President, and was responsible for all 3rd party products offered to customers - a $40M P&L. I developed and implemented strategies that optimized revenue for packaged travel products, managing a portfolio of over 300 hotels nationwide. I led negotiations for a multi-year $30M rental car contract, the largest volume contract of its kind in the domestic airline industry at the time. Additionally, I oversaw marketing, sales, and profitability strategies for Allegiant's charter programs, achieving a 30% year-over-year revenue growth and securing a 4-year international operations contract. I then project managed the company's operational and regulatory transition to support international travel. My previous roles at Allegiant included serving as the lead analyst for Flight Operations and Fuel, managing a $520 million annual expense, and assisted Pilot union negotiations with The Teamsters, the company’s largest labor force by dollars.
