Building legendary companies with high-impact talent

Ian graduated with a degree in Financial Economics from the University of Virginia in 2014 and has worked in technology sales in SF and NY for the past 6 years (early Talkdesk and Leanplum). He hopes to bring his experience and knowledge of the industry to help high aptitude students and recent graduates better evaluate a career path in technology through data and deep personal connections.

While he was an undergrad rowing athlete at UVA, Ian realized there was not a clearly defined career path into the technology field, opposed to banking, consulting, law, or medicine. After moving to San Francisco in 2014, he has been working with students and recent graduates to help bring clarity and awareness to career opportunities in technology, specifically for hypergrowth SF and NY based start-ups. He believes it is critical for the Cannon Team to work with high-achieving students, who have distinguished themselves through their drive and ambition.
