    role: Founder
    bio: I hanker after an honorable Goddam skull. I worked at Google, TheHutGroup (now THG) at Series A, GoCardless at Series A, and most recently at Palantir for 7 years, where I led the building of significant parts of America's emergency-public-health infrastructure, including what Atlantic Magazine called "America's most reliable Pandemic data."
