// My Journey

Is a collection of the stories made together with the great people who I have had the pleasure of meeting, connecting, and sharing my life with. These stories capture the experiences we created, discovered, manifested and built together resulting in the collection tools, skills, and knowledge that embody me today.

1997 - 2003

A traditional beginning

After a dual emphasis major from USC’s School of Accounting and Information Systems. I started a traditional career at Arthur Andersen and then Ernst & Young.

2003 - 2008

Choosing my 
own adventure

I needed change, so I went for it. Made bold moves and five years later, as an accountant turned founder in an Inc. 500 company, life had never been more enjoyable.

2009 - 2014

Finding my stride

Surviving on my own through a challenging journey no school could have prepared me for. Ultimately leading me to work with Bill Gates.

2014 - 2018

Raising BEN 
(Branded Entertainment Network)

From working with Gates to nurturing the growth of the company, I gained confidence and experienced personal and professional growth.

2019 - Present

My journey today

Returning to solo practice was less daunting this time, having already laid a solid foundation for my aspirations, I was ready to start building my future.

Future

A road to tomorrow

Leaving my VP role, it was time to start building my own future. As I settle down with my growing family, I bring my experience to intentionally build a new chapter.

Let’s Begin

// Testimonials

Barrett was instrumental in helping The Groop grow 100% year over year for 3 years. His ability to lead, teach, and service our clients all at the same time was key.

He supported our sales and business development efforts with great results.

In addition, he worked with me and our teams to help document and systemize our service delivery.

One of the bonus additions was the work we did together on product architecture and product leadership. We had the opportunity to work together on architecting various enterprise-scale applications and startups.

It was an honor to work with Barrett and I look forward to collaborating again.

Barrett was an amazing asset to BEN during his time at the company. Barrett is always thinking outside of the box and his approach helped drive efficiencies, innovation and user satisfaction in the products and tools he lead in creating. Barrett is always looking to understand the “why” of the problem and create solutions solving the roots of the issues presented to him. A self-starter and thinker, Barrett looks for ways to improve the world and people around him, and rapidly adapts to market, business and individual conditions to overcome challenges. Barrett works fluidly across executive, staff and technical teams, creating vision and motivating action.

Barrett is really great at what he does. What is that? Everything. He just knows his stuff. He’s smart and insightful and has given my company a lot of great advice, as well as financial models, contacts, business model idea and a lot more.
