I'm a technologist, entrepreneur and inventor and was founding CTO of priceline.com, the "Name Your Own Price" Internet service. At the Walker Digital Invention Laboratory, I helped build a portfolio of intellectual property, and am a named inventor on dozens of U.S. patents including the underlying portfolio for priceline.com.
In November 2015, I rejoined Jay Walker to transform the way we buy business travel at Upside (www.upside.com).
In March 2011, I became founding CEO of the Startup America Partnership (TechStars) focused on building strong startup communities throughout the United States. In 2013, I co-founded Main Street Genome (acquired by Dining Alliance) to leverage data to make small businesses everywhere work smarter through data science and software technology tools.
In 2006, I joined the Malaria No More team (www.MalariaNoMore.org) to inspire individuals and institutions to end deaths caused by malaria. I also serve as the Chairman of Network for Good (www.NetworkForGood.org), a national nonprofit that has distributed more than $1.4 billion to 100,000 nonprofits.
