Managing Director at Insight Partners, investing across the agentic AI stack. Sees a wide cross-section of agent-native companies (e.g. Stampli, E2B) and enterprise deployments at scale.

Recurring framings (worth borrowing)

• "The agent IS the Harness (LLM Agents)." — clearest articulation of harness-as-product.
• Bounded vs Unbounded Tasks as the autonomy framework
• Token Maxing as the enterprise budget pathology
• Build vs Buy (Agents) = front-end vs back-end decomposition
• Fractional FTE pricing as the emerging pricing model for agentic products
