I help tech professionals turn equity compensation into lasting wealth. Before co-founding Bellwether’s growth practice, I managed client assets at Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management and traded California municipal bonds at Franklin Templeton. I then spent several years in AI Product Management leadership at Workday and Intuit, so I know RSUs, options and concentrated stock from the inside, not just on paper. Prior to this role I was head of AI PM at Intuit Quickbooks CRM. Today I’m a Managing Director and Partner at Bellwether Capital Management, a fee-only fiduciary firm. I work with a small number of families on investment management, tax-aware diversification, and planning for big moves like a home purchase, a career change, or stepping away from corporate work. CFA charterholder. UCLA Anderson MBA. Based on the Peninsula.
