employment
co-founder & COO, Bluedot Inc.
2021 – present
Co-founded Bluedot, an EV fleet software and payments company (YC W23). Built a category before the market had language for it — turning fragmented charging, payments, and reimbursement workflows into software products fleets could adopt.
  • Led product discovery and enterprise sales across complex buying groups spanning operations, finance, procurement, and drivers.
  • Built the go-to-market motion from scratch: problem framing, customer education, account strategy, partnerships, and pilot-to-scale expansion.
  • Launched multiple 0→1 products across public charging, home charging reimbursement, fleet payments, and EV operations software.
  • Operated across product, sales, ops, and customer development — translating messy operational reality into product and commercial decisions.
Customers include Rivian, Hertz, Duke Energy, Genentech, City of San Francisco, City of Seattle, and Prince George's County.
