  Grew Labster from thousands of users and dollars to millions.As with any typical entrepreneurial endeavour, my time at Labster has varied as we've grown from <1000 plays from a handful of clients to >25million across thousands of institutions globally. This is the highlight reel, so far: - Leading our first international expansion, selling side-by-side our Founder and CEO with 10x sales growth in the first 12 months while directing our product roadmap for long-termsuccess.- Landing our our first 7-figure deal with Google to leap-frog our company and product forward, where I led the partnership from ideation to realization.- Realizing the scale of impact we could have, by joining our pitches to prospective investors (including Jeff Bezos!) and supporting the closing of A-C fundraising rounds.- Changing the perception that VR was a gimmick, by launching the world's first accredited onlineBiology Bachelors with Google and Arizona State, attracting global news coverage, impacting 1000s ofstudents per year, and 3x our organic traffic and being featured on stage at Google I/O.- Leading our product and GTM teams through the COVID-19 pandemic and 20x growth.- Launching multiple new products and taking our annual user base from 100s to several millions.I've also evangelized our product by travel the world delivering 100s of talks, keynotes and workshops on 5 continents, discussing how to transform education and make it engaging at scale.Along the way I've enjoyed positioning the company as a global thought-leader by landing strategic clients like Google, Pearson, Lenovo, Harvard University, Imperial College London, California State University System, University of Florida, and Arizona State University.
