After law school at the University of Minnesota, I served two years for US District Court Judge Barbara B. Crabb. After my two year term with Judge Crabb, I co-founded NameProtect, a vertical search engine company for Intellectual Property professionals based in Madison, Wisconsin. During my 8-year tenure as NameProtect's President, the company secured over $5 million in outside funding and grew from a business concept into a profitable company with a strong brand in its market and a global customer base. The NameProtect Internet search engine is today used by a diverse set of Intellectual Property law firms and Fortune 500 organizations such as Bristol Myers Squibb, Unilever, 3M, and Visa, among others.
I left my operating role at NameProtect in December, 2005, to co-found Jellyfish, and continued to serve on the NameProtect Board of Directors up until the private sale of the Company in April 2007 to Corporation Services Company, a leading provider of corporate legal services.
I am extremely excited to be teaming up again with Brian Wiegand on our newest collaboration, Jellyfish. Jellyfish is a big idea. We are working hard to pioneer a new, customer-centric form of advertising and change the way you think about shopping online. It is a big mountain to climb, but as President of Jellyfish, I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to help consumers and businesses realize that there is a better way to connect online.
I'm a member of the Wisconsin Bar, and hold degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (BA with honors) and the University of Minnesota Law School (JD magna cum laude). |
