About

I currently serve as a Partner at Practus LLP, acting as outside General Counsel to SaaS and emerging-technology companies across capital formation, technology transactions, governance, and platform strategy. Before returning to private practice, I held senior in-house roles at companies including SentinelOne and Forescout, and earlier in my career co-founded and exited a SaaS business. I’m typically engaged at inflection points — when a company is scaling, evolving its business model, entering regulated markets, raising capital, or executing transactions that materially impact trajectory.
