About
I've spent the majority of my career building software and technology companies. But after witnessing the devastating impact of Hurricane Katrina, I realized there was a larger, more imminent problem that needed to be solved: reliable, off-grid, mobile energy.
That realization led me to found Sesame Solar, where we're building the most advanced mobile, renewably-powered energy systems in the world. Our dual-use Mobile Nanogrids deliver reliable, off-grid power to the environments that demand it most: defense operations, emergency response, remote medical clinics, and disaster-affected communities where relying on the grid or fuel supply chains isn’t an option.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Comcast, Cox Communications, and the Santa Barbara County Office of Emergency Management trust our technology to keep critical services running when it matters most.
Before Sesame Solar, I founded WebWare, one of the first B2B SaaS companies, which went on to be acquired. As a 5x founder and investor, I also serve as Managing Partner at BELLE Capital USA and board member of Springboard Enterprises, supporting the next generation of women-led technology companies.
