I have spent the last 5+ years helping to scale Eventbrite’s business to several billions of dollars in annual transactions across 180+ countries around the world. Before Eventbrite I was Co-Head of Marketing at TaskRabbit where I helped to 3x our core business volume over my tenure, and co-authored the strategy that led to TaskRabbit’s successful pivot to a more tightly-managed marketplace.
