Hello, I'm Kelly -entrepreneur. #product, #design, #engineering.
I am the former head of digital at Starbucks, Athletic Greens and MGM Resorts. I create new companies at our seed-stage incubator called Curious Office which I founded in 2007. Our team is a multi-disciplinary group of digital polymaths, with hands-on skills in strategy, product, design and engineering.
I've founded companies, worked in C-level leadership in Fortune 100 companies & structured partnerships with global innovators. Personal seed investments in companies have been acquired by Amazon, Google, Comcast, Priceline, ESPN, Microsoft and others.
