What I Do

At 25madison, I work with our team and our portfolio companies to build great businesses. As a lifelong entrepreneur, I've seen what works and what doesn’t work over and over, and in this role, I try to help entrepreneurs and our team avoid many of the pitfalls I’ve seen and experienced. I also work with our Board and Founders to set our overall strategy and make sure that the areas where we focus have positive impact and can generate great returns.

​

About Me

I’m a lifelong learner and entrepreneur. I've built businesses that have become public companies (twice), have been sold to large corporations and some that have been less successful. I've founded companies in media, telecommunications and business services, but now, I'm thinking most about business opportunities that tackle loneliness, agin, the future or work, preparedness and healthy living.

What I Do

I’m focused on building 25madison into a unique operating platform that creates successful businesses.  I work on developing our team and capabilities.  I enjoy meeting with founders and growing our incubated startups.  My goal is to help our companies get organized, clarify priorities, and scale quickly.

​

About Me

I grew up outside of Boston and spent my professional career in NYC and Asia.  I love to sail, ski and fish, particularly with my family, and read history.

What I Do

Prior to 25madison, I helped build Citi Bike and its affiliate operations across the country into the largest bike sharing company in North America. After leading the sale of the company to Lyft in 2018, I worked on Lyft’s expansion into electric bikes and scooters. I joined 25madison to help build and grow other early stage companies that have positive social and environmental impact, and work across portfolio to support our growing family of companies.

​

About Me

I’m a lifelong New Yorker, passionate about improving cities and urban mobility.  I love meeting entrepreneurs, going deep on new ideas and businesses, and my daily Citi Bike commute.

What I Do

I’ve spent my entire career connecting extraordinary people and companies, creating partnerships that drive measurable results and value creation.
 
At 25madison, I help entrepreneurs build and scale their business concepts and ideas. With my sleeves rolled up, I leverage my relationships and experiences of investing in early stage companies. This includes the company I founded, The Great American Turkey Co., a collection of healthy, delicious, clean, chef-driven turkey products.

​

About Me

My family and I love living in Tribeca and enjoy all the extraordinary treasures of downtown NYC. I’m beyond passionate about philanthropy, the NBA, Flywheel, insane food and California cabs.

What I Do

I build products & experiences that are easy, useful, and enjoyable. At 25madison, that means taking our ideas and bringing them to life through design & technology. Building real, user-centered businesses that help people in meaningful ways.

‍

About Me

I’m originally from western New Jersey but now call Charlotte, NC home. I like designing and building things - new products, teams, branded experiences, carpentry, electrical, and a custom tree house. When I’m not building, you’ll find me playing mixologist, seeing live music, DJ’ing at swim meets for my 3 children, or going out with family and friends.

What I Do

provide support to the 25madison team- an always dynamic proposition. As a post-lockdown hire, I have been very fortunate to have a Zoom-side seat to thework of incredibly talented, creative and bright individuals. I hope to someday meet them in person.

About Me

An accidental nomad, I’ve called Cleveland, Washington, DC, San Francisco, Dublin, Ireland and Greenwich, CT. home.  Practiced in the art of speedy assimilation, I’m a decent listener and a hard worker with an eye for process and detail (fun!) – and just a dash of hypervigilance.  Second only to the company of my children, experiencing art is my greatest pleasure.  I love the way it so quietly and so consistently moves the needle on things that really matter.

What I Do

I joined 25madison in 2020 to build businesses through brand and design. I partner with the team to concept and develop brand experience for our incubations that realize a brand and marketing presence from conception. Building brand experience from the start allows us to iterate and evolve the brand design as the business grows, keeping pace with what it needs and giving our incubations engaging and inspiring brand expression all along the way.  

​

About Me

Originally from the Midwest, I graduated from Iowa State University’s College of Design. Since moving away from Iowa, I’ve been a New Yorker, settling in Brooklyn with my wife and two sons. A designer at heart, I love exploring the world and creating things that are inspired by it, whether that is through drawing & photography or through traveling and museums. You may also find some Legos in my video background or by my side. 

What I Do

I have a passion for promotion. Marketing is so important to me because it is the vessel by which companies can reveal the intricacies and exceptional endeavors that are going on behind closed doors to the whole world. At 25madison, you’ll spot me doing just this through creative collaboration, campaign coordination, and brand storytelling.

‍

About Me

I’ve always been enthusiastic about connecting with people. Whether it’s through food, music, or game night, I’m in. You can find me cooking for my family and friends, playing with the nearest puppy, or on the tennis court.

What I Do

I joined 25madison in April 2018 as an MBA intern, loved it so much that I stayed on through school, and joined fulltime after graduation in summer 2019. I've helped get some of our internally generated companies off the ground; evaluated early stage investment opportunities; and I’m now spending most of my time building out 25madison X TLV, our effort to find great talent in Israel and help them build big businesses in the U.S.

​

About Me

Originally from right outside Washington, D.C., but have spent the past 12 years between New York, Boston and now Tel Aviv. In my spare time, I like to read, write and drink good coffee with great people. The beach is fun too. I love the inherent optimism and creativity that comes with building something new.

What I do

‍I have a passion for new technology and building businesses, working across our team to ideate and build new incubations, support portfolio companies, and chat with founders about their exciting companies. Let’s think big to solve the most challenging and inspiring problems!

‍

About me

Originally from Baltimore, I spent time in Virginia, Ohio, and Sydney before ending up in Boston for school. Outside of work I enjoy staying active, cooking, and keeping the competitive juices flowing, whether that is through sports (really into squash lately!), board games, or poker.

What I Do

Formerly an investment banker at Goldman Sachs, I advised food & beverage companies during a period of massive industry disruption – evolving consumer preferences, lack of innovation from incumbents, and lower barriers to entry for startup brands. After recognizing my passion for entrepreneurship, I joined 25madison to help build and grow early stage companies in the consumer sector. I led the incubation of our internal startup The Beet as well as our investments in BOU Brands, Forks Over Knives, Mud/Wtr, Noops, Onda, Parmela Creamery, and The Great American Turkey Co. Now I am spending a lot of time finding and developing disruptive consumer brands. I'm always looking to connect with entrepreneurs, investors and experienced professionals in the space. Please reach out!

About Me

I’m originally from Moscow, Russia but grew up in Atlanta. I’ve spent the last handful of years in New York, and love hiking, skiing and traveling the world. I've got a soft spot for unique consumer products, especially in the food and beverage space.

What I Do

At 25madison, I work across teams helping with ideation, customer research and product development. I spend most of my time either exploring early stage opportunities, unearthing customer needs and building sustainable businesses around them, or pushing our incubated startups toward launch.

​

About Me

A tinkerer and builder from an early age, I’ve always been excited about great design and any sort of prototyping. Between my 3D printer, calligraphy machine and sewing machine, my apartment is quickly turning into a small, personal maker space. When I’m not prototyping, you can find me seeking out new cultures and experiences, traveling whenever possible.

‍

What I Do

I joined 25madison in April 2018 as an MBA intern. I spend most of my time working on our incubated startups and finding the white space in areas we care about. I also love connecting with entrepreneurs and anybody else who’s thinking about solving big problems in a unique way.

​

About Me

I’m originally from Philadelphia but lived in Baltimore, San Francisco and New Haven before moving to New York. I love Philadelphia sports, dogs, traveling, and nerding out about public policy. 

‍

What I Do

I joined 25madison in early 2019 to help build out the brand and marketing arm of 25madison, bringing a big brand mentality to early-stage startups. I split my time between building the brands, content marketing strategies and go-to-market plans for our internal incubations and helping the CEOs of our portfolio companies with their marketing and branding needs.

​

About Me

I’m originally from South Georgia, but have lived in Chicago, Charlotte, and am now back home in Atlanta. I’m a creative at heart, passionate about art, design, and music – and how these things influence and are influenced by culture and commerce. In my spare time you’ll find me dancing to new music, taking photographs, or planning my next trip.
