Vice President of Developer Products, The Linux Foundation

2024 - today

The Linux Foundation is a nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source. Nearly 1,000 of the most critical open source projects are under the umbrella of the Linux Foundation, including Linux Kernel, Kubernetes, PyTorch, Node.js, and many more.

I joined the Linux Foundation in 2024 as part of the acquisition of my startup crowd.dev.

Co-Founder & CEO, crowd.dev

2021 - 2024

I co-founded crowd.dev, the connected developer data platform. We enabled open source and dev-first companies to centralize all touch points developers have with their brand - be it in community, product, or commercial channels.

crowd.dev was acquired by the Linux Foundation in April 2024.

Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Venture Creator

2020 - 2021

Venture Creator was a boutique consultancy that I co-founded with Philipp Langnickel, one of the co-founders of Code Intelligence. We supported early stage dev tool and open source companies in the areas of growth, product, and fundraising. During this time, I realized that I wanted to focus 100% on my own startup and the idea for crowd.dev continued to mature.

Head of Business Development, Code Intelligence

2019 - 2020

I was the first Go-to-Market hire at Code Intelligence, where we worked on AI-powered application security testing for developers - before the AI hype. Code Intelligence raised over $15M in venture capital and grew to over 80 employees.
