Aaron joined FirstMile in 2013. He thinks a lot about the firm's portfolio strategy and has built a back office that allowed the investment team to greatly increase its pace.
Prior to joining FirstMile, Aaron had a diverse set experiences that provide great perspective as an investor. He spent 10 years as an Army officer and helicopter pilot, leading teams in a number of challenging environments including two overseas deployments. The lessons the military instilled on leadership, teamwork and execution have greatly influenced his thoughts on management and investing.
It was during his MBA that Aaron first developed a desire to work with early-stage companies. He volunteered at a technology incubator, then worked as a summer intern and part-time employee at Novinda, a venture-backed company in the clean coal market. Most recently, Aaron worked in the Corporate Strategy Group at Newmont Mining, the #2 gold miner in the world. He worked on M&A, investor relations and negotiated a mineral agreement with a foreign government.
