about me

i’ve been at doordash since 2023. my team runs some of doordash’s largest and most strategic partnerships: some of the world’s most iconic brands, responsible for billions of dollars in doordash sales.

most of the job is two things: the relationships with the executives who run those brands, and getting the dozens of teams inside doordash pointed the same direction on their behalf. the parts i like best are the ones that did not exist before, new partnership models that leave both sides better off, and working out where ai actually belongs in how we work rather than where it merely sounds good.

before doordash i founded triplingo. it started in 2011, out of trying to function in vietnam without the language, and grew into an enterprise product for international travel. over eight years we raised $2 million, won a few industry awards, and counted nearly a dozen of the fortune 500 as customers. travel and transport acquired it in 2019 and later became part of corporate travel management, where i led partnerships until doordash.

before that i spent a year and a half in vietnam after college, where i built the marketing function for caterpillar’s dealer there from nothing.

i was born in anderson, south carolina, went to high school in marietta just outside atlanta, and studied philosophy at brown, graduating magna cum laude. i started a few things while i was there, including a textbook site built on a different way of selling them and the janus forum, a debate series that puts two people who disagree on the same stage. it is still running at brown today.

what you won’t find here is the actual work: the tactics, the deals, the things we haven’t announced. that belongs to a team and an employer, and i keep it off my personal site on purpose. if you want the official record (titles, dates, the resume version), linkedin has it.

and honestly, if you want to know what i’m like to work with, the projects on this site are a better answer anyway.
