and say hi
Hey — I’m Mack
I’m a builder, writer, and operator, working to be the connective tissue between deep tech and the people whose lives it changes.
I’m currently leading Strategy and Operations at DVLP Medicines, the agentic operating system for biopharma. My job is the work that makes the platform real — shaping the commercial strategy around what we’ve built, designing the agentic infrastructure that runs our daily operations, authoring our agentic governance strategy and shaping the operational framework, and driving the change management work that enables enterprises to fully adopt and extract all the value our technology has to offer.
Like any startup, the day-to-day runs well beyond the role scope, from designing the brand stack to owning quarterly reporting to our board, which hosts two Fortune 50 directors. Lots of work to be done and lessons to be learned.
I grew up in Boston and decided to launch myself across the world after my high school graduation. I studied at the University of Sydney, started a music technology company in between assignments, and worked for a couple years in strategy consulting after graduating before moving back to the US.
Here’s why I did what I did and where I made an impact for each.
I want to make people's lives materially better. I’ve done this at scale, through health — bringing better medicines to patients at DVLP. And one person at a time, through joy — like bringing artists and fans closer together at Serenade. Everything comes from the same instinct — being near the work that changes how someone’s day, year, or life goes.

From the board rooms of big pharma to working as a cowboy in rural Australia, I’ve seen a lot. I’ll narrow down what I’m good at — value proposition, spike, edge, whatever you’d like to call it — into three points:
Clarifying complexity for action
Take the tangled and find the core — what we’re actually trying to solve, and what will get us there.
